Instructions

Add 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/2 medium ripe banana and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds, just until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon 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 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use frozen banana slices to keep the milkshake thick and cold. Substitute coconut milk beverage with almond milk for a lighter texture.
