🧰 Equipment Needed
- Large punch bowl or blender
- Ice cream scoop
- Ladle
- Mixing spoon
- Measuring cups
- Serving glasses or cups
🛒 Ingredients
For the Base:
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream (softened slightly)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk or coconut cream
- 1 can (46 oz) pineapple juice (chilled)
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda (chilled)
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Optional Garnishes:
- Whipped cream
- Shredded coconut (for rimming glasses)
- White sanding sugar or coconut flakes (for a “snow” effect)
- Maraschino cherries or mint sprigs
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Chill Everything
Before mixing, make sure your soda, juice, and coconut milk are well chilled — this keeps the punch frosty longer without needing excess ice.
Step 2: Combine the Creamy Base
In a large punch bowl or blender, combine coconut milk, pineapple juice, and coconut extract. Stir or blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Ice Cream
Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the mixture — it will float and slowly melt, creating that frothy “snowball” effect.
Step 4: Pour in the Soda
Gently pour lemon-lime soda over the mixture right before serving. Stir lightly to combine while keeping the fizzy bubbles intact.
Step 5: Serve
Ladle into chilled glasses. Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, and a cherry or mint leaf for a festive finish.
💡 Pro Tip: For an extra fancy touch, rim your glasses with shredded coconut and white sugar before serving!
