Imagine a sun-soaked beach on the shores of the Caribbean, where the vibrant colors of fruit and the sound of the waves set the stage for a perfect dessert. Inspired by my travels through the lush landscapes of Jamaica, I’ve created this Tropical Ice Cream Float that captures the essence of island life. This delightful concoction combines the refreshing flavors of coconut, mango, and a hint of lime, all topped with a scoop of creamy coconut ice cream. It’s a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat, perfect for bringing a taste of the tropics into your home.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a tall glass, combine the coconut water, mango juice, and lime juice. If you prefer a chilled drink, add ice cubes to the mixture.
