Servings: 4
- 1/2 honeydew melon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 lime
- 14 ounce can coconut cream
- 1/2 cup spiced rum
Remove peel and seeds from honeydew. Chop and freeze fruit for at least 4 hours. If fruit is not frozen, you must add additional ice.
To make simple syrup, use a vegetable slicer to remove outer peel from lime. Combine peel with sugar and water in small sauce pan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Swirl pan to help combine and remove from heat as soon as syrup has formed and no solid sugar remains, about 5 minutes. Cool entire mixture with lime peel in refrigerator.
In large blender, combine juice from remaining lime, frozen honeydew, simple syrup with lime peel removed, and all of the coconut creme (omit any watery liquid from can). If making virgin daquiris, blend until smooth and serve. If adding booze, add spiced rum, then blend until smooth.
Blend with additional ice if needed. Serve immediately. Garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes, if desired.
