Note

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture.

You can substitute regular vanilla shake mix for a richer flavor, though it will increase calories.

Toasted coconut adds a nice crunch and depth of flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This dessert can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a mint sprig for garnish.
