Creamy Cinnabon Strawberry Chillatta

A Creamy Cinnabon Strawberry Chillatta is a refreshing and indulgent frozen drink, perfect for hot days or as a sweet treat. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup milk (any type, including almond or soy milk)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or vanilla ice cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar or your preferred sweetener
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:

   • If using fresh strawberries, hull and halve them. If using frozen strawberries, ensure they are slightly thawed for easier blending.

2. Blend the Ingredients:

   • In a blender, combine the strawberries, milk, heavy cream (or vanilla ice cream), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes.
   • Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

3. Taste and Adjust:

   • Taste the chillatta and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level if needed. Blend again briefly to mix any added ingredients.

4. Serve:

   • Pour the chillatta into tall glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the creamy, refreshing drink.

Tips:

• Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sweetener to taste. You can use powdered sugar, honey, agave syrup, or a low-carb sweetener if preferred.
• Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk, coconut milk, or another non-dairy milk, and substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a non-dairy ice cream.
• Extra Flavor: Add a dash of nutmeg or a little strawberry syrup for an extra flavor boost.
• Chill Your Glasses: For an extra touch, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring in the chillatta.

This Creamy Cinnabon Strawberry Chillatta is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of fresh strawberries, creamy vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. It's perfect for a hot summer day or whenever you crave a sweet, creamy drink!
