Instructions

Add 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage and 3 tablespoons cashew butter to a blender.
Add 2 cups vanilla ice cream and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon coconut milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream.

Tips

Use smooth cashew butter for the creamiest texture. Substitute coconut whipped cream to keep this dairy-free.
