Lychee Coconut Bubble Tea

- 1/2 cup chilled, cooked bubble tea pearls
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1 cup canned lychees with syrup or fresh pitted fresh lychees OR
- other fresh fruits such as mango and papaya
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup homogenized milk or cereal cream
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Place pearls in a large parfait glass. Combine all remaining ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute or until the mixture is frothy and creamy. Pour into a glass and serve with extra-thick straws.
