Description
While not the food-colored shelf stable milk product from the Star Wars movie sets or actual blue milk from female Banthas, this interpretation of Star Wars Blue Milk is closer to the version served at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Ingredients
Scale
I recommend that all ingredients be chilled prior to starting.
- 1 medium, ripe kiwi
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup watermelon juice
- 1/2 cup rice milk
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup*
- blue food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Peel kiwi, cut into thirds, and blend until mostly smooth. Press contents of blender through a fine mesh strainer and place into a small bowl. Give blender a quick rinse.
- Add pineapple juice, watermelon juice, rice milk, coconut milk, lime juice, simple syrup, and a few drops of blue food coloring to blender. Measure out 2 tablespoons of kiwi pulp and add to blender. Blend until fully combined.
- Add xanthan gum to blender and blend for an additional 20-30 seconds - the blue milk should thicken up a little - add more xanthan gum 1/8 teaspoon a time until desired consistency is achieved. Adjust food coloring until desired blue coloring is achieved.
Notes
If you don't have simple syrup, you can use honey (it will add a bit of flavor) or agave nectar instead.
Kiwi is used as it is a close substitute for dragon fruit, which can be expensive and difficult to find. Both will add visible seeds to the blue milk. If you'd rather have a smoother appearance, you can use up to 1/4 cup of pear juice instead.
