A summer staple in Colombia's coastal cities, cholado is made by layering crushed ice with fresh fruit, syrup and condensed milk. Served in glasses at parties, this colourful dessert is a refreshing classic for hot days.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the fruit

10 min

Chop the strawberries, banana and pineapple into small pieces and mix them in a bowl.

2

Make the syrup

5 min

Stir the fruit syrup together with the lime juice.

3

Crush the ice

10 min

Crush the ice in a blender or ice crusher until it has a fine, snow-like texture.

4

Layer and chill

10 min

Fill glasses with the crushed ice and layer on the fruit and syrup, then let them sit in the freezer for ten minutes before serving.

5

Serve

3 min

Drizzle with the condensed milk and serve immediately.

Reminder

If you crush the ice too finely it will melt like water; pulse it in short bursts so it stays coarse. Allergens: contains dairy (condensed milk).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you use coconut milk instead of condensed milk, the recipe becomes dairy-free, though you will need to adjust the sweetness level separately.

Yoğunlaştırılmış süt yerine editör notundaki gibi hindistan cevizi sütü kullandım, hem daha hafif oldu hem de tropik bir tat kattı. Ananas yerine mango da denedim, rengi daha canlı çıktı.
