The concoction also looks amazing, which will score you bonus points at your next dinner party. They can easily be made more adult by adding alcohol such as bourbon, kahlua or dark rum. If you want to make your own chocolate, coconut and smashed berries slushie, you will need delicious ingredients including young coconut, young coconut water, organic cocoa, vanilla bean, ground cinnamon, agave or maple syrup and ice. For the smashed berries portion, you will need vanilla extract, sugar and your preference of mixed berries (this batch contained strawberries and raspberries). Garnish with extra dark chocolate and you are good to go.
