Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ¼-½ cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup coconut whipped cream
- ½ cup chilled coconut cream, from the can
- 1 ¾ cups coconut milk ice cream, coconut flavored ice cream, or vanilla ice cream of choice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
- ⅛ tsp coconut extract (optional)
- 2-3 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure and toast the shredded unsweetened coconut if not already toasted. Chill the coconut cream by refrigerating the can beforehand to allow the thick cream to separate and solidify.
- Blend Base Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the chilled coconut cream, coconut ice cream, and vanilla extract if using. Blend these ingredients together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, forming the milkshake base.
- Enhance Flavor and Texture: Optionally add ¼ cup of toasted coconut shavings or ⅛ teaspoon of coconut extract to intensify the coconut flavor. If you prefer a colder or slightly thinner milkshake, add 2-3 ice cubes but be aware this may dilute the richness. Blend again until smooth.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the milkshake into serving glasses. Top generously with coconut whipped cream and sprinkle toasted coconut shavings on top for texture and presentation. Serve immediately chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk canned product to get enough thick coconut cream upon chilling.
- To toast shredded coconut, spread it on a baking tray and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- For a more intense coconut flavor, use both coconut extract and vanilla extract but adjust to taste.
- The addition of ice cubes is optional; it cools but may water down the milkshake slightly.
