Instructions
- Create an enticing glass presentation by generously coating the rim with Cream of Coconut, then gently roll in shredded coconut flakes for a tropical textural accent.

- Pulse and blend the mixture until it transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible chunks.
- For an adult version, incorporate rum into the blended mixture and pulse briefly to integrate the spirits seamlessly.

Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to help shredded coconut adhere more effectively and create a beautiful, even coating.
- Use slightly softened ice cream for smoother blending and a more luxurious milkshake consistency.
- Replace rum with pineapple juice or coconut water for a family-friendly version that maintains tropical flavor profile.
- Swap dairy ice cream with coconut or almond milk-based alternatives for a vegan and lactose-free milkshake option.
