In case you’ve been living under a rock, bubble tea is out and coconut shakes are in.
Okay, I may be exaggerating. But judging from the snaking queues at Mr Coconut stalls island-wide — even during Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) — the coconut milkshake craze isn’t dying any time soon.
Tired of queueing 15 to 20 minutes at a time just to get my Mr Coconut fix, I decided to attempt my own rendition of their classic coconut shake (from $4.40) — and I’m pretty pleased with the results.

- Add ice, coconut water and ice cream into a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Add coconut flesh.
- Blend for a few more seconds. Be careful not to overdo it if you prefer the coconut flesh to remain pulpy.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Customise your own shake
The recipe was sweet enough for me (I usually go for the 25 per cent sugar level) but you can always sweeten it with syrup, stevia or honey.
You can also go crazy on the toppings and add Oreos or other fruits.
