  • 1 17.5oz coconut water (agua de coco)
  • 1 13.5 oz coconut milk (leche de coco)
  • 1 cup whole or 2%
  • 1 cup water

    Note: You can also add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the ground cinnamon and blend again for a few seconds.

  • Pour the limber into plastic cups.
  • Top each cup with a sprinkle of coconut flakes.

Notes

Recipe Notes:
Love a sweeter limber? When preparing the limber mixture, feel free to enhance its sweetness to your preference by adding a few tablespoons of granulated sugar and blend for a few seconds.
Briefly toast coconut flakes in a pan for added visual appeal, and then use them as a topping for your limbers before placing them in the freezer.
If You Love Coconut:
  • You can also add a few tablespoons of coconut flakes to the limber mixture for more coconut flavor and texture.
If You Do Not Like:
  • Ground cinnamon or coconut flakes, do not top the limbers with it. 
Entertaining?
For a fun party treat, consider pouring the limber mixture into small plastic shot glasses or plastic jello cups. This recipe will make about 35 Limber de Coco in mini-shot glasses.
