Vegan Hawachae (Summer Fruits + Oat-milk Strawberry Base)

What you’ll need (serves ~4)

Fruits & add-ins

1 cup dragon fruit, diced (about 1 small fruit)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup mango, diced (fresh or thawed)
2 cups watermelon, small diced
Optional (but great):
1/2 cup lychee or canned fruit (drained)
1/2 cup coconut flakes (for topping)
1–2 cups ice (to keep it extra cold)

Strawberry “milk” (vegan + oatmilk-based)

2 cups oat milk (unsweetened or vanilla)
1/2 cup strawberry syrup or strawberry jam (you can adjust sweetness)
1–2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Optional: 1–3 tbsp maple syrup or agave if you want it sweeter

Fizzy base (instead of Sprite)

1 to 1 1/2 cups lemon-lime soda (or citrus soda)
Tip: Chill it well. You can add more or less depending on how “fizzy” you want it.

Sweetness & flavor balance

2–4 tbsp sugar or powdered sugar (only if needed)
Pinch of salt (tiny amount makes flavors pop)

Detailed recipe (step-by-step)

1) Chill everything (key for summer hawachae)

Put your serving bowl(s) and the soda in the fridge/freezer for 15–30 minutes.
Dice fruit ahead of time and store covered in the fridge.

2) Make the oat-milk strawberry base

In a blender or bowl:

Add oat milk and strawberry syrup/jam.
Blend/stir until smooth.
Taste and adjust:
If it tastes not sweet enough, add maple syrup/agave or a little sugar.
Add vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Refrigerate the strawberry milk mixture for at least 10 minutes.

3) Assemble the fruits

In a large bowl (or individual cups):

Add dragon fruit, blueberries, mango, and watermelon.
Gently toss so the colors are evenly distributed.

4) Add creamy + fizzy components

You have two options—both work great:

Option A (Classic-style creamy bowl):

Pour the strawberry oat-milk over the fruit.
Slowly drizzle in chilled soda.
Add a handful of ice if you want it thick-and-cold.

Option B (Neat layered cups):

Add fruit to cups first.
Add strawberry oat-milk.
Add soda right before serving so it stays fizzy.

5) Taste and fine-tune

If you want it sweeter: add a spoon of syrup or a little powdered sugar.
If it’s too sweet: add more soda or a few extra watermelon cubes.

6) Serve immediately

Hawachae is best served right away while the soda is still lively.

Serving tips (for the prettiest presentation)

Serve in clear cups/bowls or the Watermelon by scooping out the watermelon to show the colors.
Top with:
extra blueberries
a few dragon fruit cubes
a light sprinkle of coconut flakes
If you want more “snowy” texture, mash a few watermelon chunks and stir in—makes it juicy and thick.

Quick notes / variations

More creamy: reduce soda slightly and add a bit more strawberry oat-milk.
More refreshing: increase soda and watermelon ratio.
No strawberry syrup/jam: use strawberry puree (thicker blend) and sweeten to taste.

If you tell me whether you want it thicker (like shaved-ice dessert style) or more watery-drink style, I can adjust exact measurements for your preferred texture.
