Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.
- Add 2 tablespoons chai concentrate to the blender.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, then on medium-high for 20 to 30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
- Check the consistency. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time. If too thin, add 1/4 cup additional ice cream.
- Pour the milkshake into a chilled 16-ounce glass.
- Top with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.
Tips
- Use full-fat coconut milk beverage for richer flavor. For a dairy-free version, ensure the whipped cream is plant-based or omit it.
