Method
-
Step 1
Start by making your condensed milk. Add the coconut milk and agave into a heavy bottomed saucepan and heat on a low to medium heat until it comes to a simmer, stirring occassionally. Leave to gently simmer for 30 minutes until the mixture darkens and has reduced by half. Do not stir at this stage. Remove from the heat and pour into a jar and leave to cool completely before putting on the lid.

Step 2
Whilst your condensed milk is cooking you can also make your syrup base. Place all of the ingredients for the syrup base into a heavy bottomed pan and cook for about 5-10 minutes until the fruit has softened. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before pouring into your Ninja food processor and blending on the ‘Purée’ setting until smooth. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and discard any fibrous leftovers. Divide the mixture as instructed in the ingredients list and whisk in your colour powders. Transfer into separate containers (squeezy bottles are best!) and leave to cool completely.

Step 3
It’s now time to make your shaved ice. Add 2 cups of ice at a time to your Ninja pitcher and blend on the ‘Frozen Drink’ setting until it resembles snow. Repeat until all ice has been used. You can store this in the freezer and break the ice up again in the blender if needs be.

Step 4
Fill each glass to about a 3rd full with crushed ice then pour over the syrups, repeat until the glass is full. Top with chopped fruit and desiccated coconut if you wish then pour over a little coconut condensed milk. Serve and enjoy!
