Coconut cream provides a dairy-free alternative with a rich texture.

Pour the entire can of strawberries into the blender.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the blender.

Blend until smooth.

Add 1 flat teaspoon of pitaya powder to the blender and blend again until the mixture is bright red.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of whipping cream.

Use an electric whisk to whip the mixture, starting on low, then medium, and finally high until foamy.

Add 2 flat teaspoons of matcha powder to the whipped mixture and continue whisking until it reaches a whipped consistency with stiff peaks.

Transfer the strawberry puree into a glass jar and store it in the fridge.

In a serving glass, add 1/4 cup (approximately 60 milliliters) of the strawberry puree at the bottom.

Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice.

Pour whole milk into the glass, aiming for the ice to create a layered effect without disturbing the strawberry puree.

Pipe the matcha whip on top of the drink or spoon it in.
