Instructions

Add 1/2 cup coconut milk beverage and 2 cups vanilla ice cream to a blender.

Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 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.
