Also you can put in the milkshake machine with the milk, some small pices of ice cubes, this makes the drink a bit more creamy.This is usually a companion for Empanadas or PastelesWhat is the name of this beverage? Is a powder or something else that substitutes the pineapple piece and/or the fermentation process?I googled for something like this with no luck, the closest recipe is the pineapple-coconut milk, but that is not what I'm looking for.

A: What is the name of this drink and is there a substitute for the pineapple?
