Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 227g No.1 British Speciality Strawberries
  • 120ml white rum
  • 160ml can coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • ½ lime, juice
  • Handful crushed ice, plus extra to serve

Method

  1. Chill 2 glasses (about 250ml each) in the freezer. Put the desiccated coconut into a small frying pan and cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until toasted and golden. Set aside.

  2. Reserve 2-3 strawberries, then hull and quarter the rest and put into a blender with the rum, coconut cream, sugar and lime juice (keep the lime). Blitz until smooth and frothy, then add the ice and blitz again until well chilled.

  3. Rub the rims of the chilled glasses with the reserved lime half, then dip into the toasted coconut to coat. Fill each glass with more crushed ice, pour over the colada, and garnish with the reserved strawberries on the rim.
