Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together mashed bananas, lemon juice, and sugar.
- Pour the mixture into a punch bowl.
- Add light cream, 7-Up, and sherbet to the punch bowl.
- Sprinkle coconut on top before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the bananas are well-mashed before mixing. You can substitute the light cream with coconut cream for a richer coconut flavor. If you want to reduce sugar, try using a sugar alternative like Stevia. For a fun twist, add a scoop of lime sherbet instead of traditional lemon.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Snow Punch in frosty glasses for a refreshing presentation. This punch pairs beautifully with light appetizers or tropical-themed dishes, like Coconut Bars(Candy) or fruit salads. Consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Snow Punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the carbonation from the 7-Up may diminish over time. If you want to serve it cold again, avoid reheating; instead, serve it chilled straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Snow Punch ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the banana and lemon juice mixture a few hours in advance, but add the 7-Up and light cream just before serving to maintain the fizz and freshness.
Is there a non-dairy version of this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use coconut cream instead of light cream and a non-carbonated beverage like coconut water or a non-dairy soda to keep it light and refreshing.
Can I use frozen bananas for this recipe?
Yes, frozen bananas work well! Just thaw them before mashing. This can also add a cool, creamy texture to your punch and is a great way to use overripe bananas.
