This recipe requires 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ice cream of grated lemon peel, 1 10-ounce package of frozen strawberries (thawed), 1 can of whipped, heavy cream and two-thirds of a cup of sweetened and condensed coconut milk.

Coconut milk is great for recipes and shakes.
Remove mold and add your second flavor (we'll say chocolate.) Do the same with the second flavor as the first.
