Notes
- Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, chilled texture without needing additional ice in the strawberry mixture.
- Cream of coconut is sweetened and rich; substitute with coconut milk and sugar if unavailable but expect less sweetness.
- For a dairy-free version, replace half and half with coconut cream or another plant-based milk.
- Clean the blender thoroughly between mixtures to maintain the distinct layers and flavors.
- Add more ice if you prefer a thicker, icy drink texture.
