Instructions

Add coconut milk beverage to a blender, followed by vanilla ice cream.
Add pure vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth, avoiding overblending.
Check consistency and 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 whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier texture. Chill your glass beforehand to keep the milkshake cold longer.
