Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup key lime juice
- 2 ounces (56 grams) coconut water or coconut milk
- 1 ounce (28 grams) pineapple juice
- 1 ounce (28 grams) cream of coconut
Additional Ingredients:
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream
- Lime zest
Garnish:
- Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the serving glass by delicately moistening the rim with tangy key lime juice, then artfully coat with finely crushed graham cracker crumbs to create a textural border.
- Combine coconut water, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, key lime juice, cream cheese, and a generous handful of ice cubes into a high-powered blender.
- Activate the blender and process the mixture for 45-60 seconds until achieving a velvety smooth, uniformly creamy consistency with no visible ice chunks.
- Carefully transfer the luscious blended concoction into the graham cracker-rimmed glass, filling it almost to the top.
- Crown the tropical beverage with a billowy dollop of freshly whipped cream, creating an elegant cloud-like topping.
- Finish the presentation by delicately sprinkling vibrant lime zest across the whipped cream surface, intensifying the citrusy aroma and adding a sophisticated visual accent.
- Serve immediately while thoroughly chilled, allowing the complex layers of tropical flavors to dance across the palate with each refreshing sip.
Notes
- Use a shallow dish for even graham cracker coating and press gently to ensure crumbs stick perfectly to the glass edge.
- Freeze cream cheese briefly before blending to create an ultra-smooth, velvety consistency without lumps.
- Adjust cream of coconut quantity based on personal preference or dietary needs, using less for a less sweet version.
- Swap cream cheese with coconut yogurt or silken tofu for a plant-based alternative that maintains creamy texture.
