    Cholado is a cross between a frozen dessert, fruit cocktail, and a drink, and derives from El Valle region of Colombia. It is made with crushed ice, fresh fruit, condensed milk, passion fruit (maracuyá), and Colombian blackberry (mora) syrup, and is topped with shredded coconut and a maraschino cherry. It makes a wonderful summer dessert!

    It has the perfect combination of flavors and textures. It's tangy, sweet, creamy, crunchy, and fruity, all in one spoonful. Cholado is one of those desserts you hope never ends. I used strawberries, banana, fresh pineapple and mango, but you can make cholados with any type of fruit you like!

    Buen provecho!

      I have always wanted to try a Cholado - and holy cow does that look fantastic! I suppose I'll just have to make one so that I can try it since I've never been able to find any being sold around here. Yummmm!

      How long does it need to boil before it becomes a thick mixture?

        Cook over medium heat approximately 30 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup.

      This looks like an amazing dessert. Some of the ingredients are hard to find but I would love to recreate it with local summer fruit.
