🍓🍎 The Ultimate Creamy Strawberry Apple Punch
A Show-Stopping Refreshment for Any Gathering
✅ Ingredients:
2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled)
2 cups apple juice (chilled)
1 cup pineapple juice (optional, adds brightness)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
½ cup heavy cream or evaporated milk (for creaminess)
1 cup cold water or sparkling water (for a lighter consistency)
Ice cubes (as needed)
Strawberry and apple slices, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for aroma and presentation)
🥄 Instructions:
Blend the Fruit Base:
In a blender, combine the strawberries and apple juice. Blend until smooth.
Add Creamy Goodness:
Pour in the pineapple juice (if using), sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream or evaporated milk. Blend again until creamy and fully combined.
Chill & Mix:
Transfer the punch mixture into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Stir in the cold water or sparkling water to thin it to your desired consistency and add a refreshing fizz.
Add Ice & Garnish:
Toss in plenty of ice cubes to chill it well. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, apple slices, and mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.
Serve & Enjoy:
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold. It’s creamy, fruity, and irresistibly delicious!
🌟 Tips:
Make it ahead: You can blend the base ahead of time and just add ice and sparkling water before serving.
Make it dairy-free: Swap condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
Spiked version (21+): Add a splash of rum, vodka, or prosecco for a grown-up twist.
