Instructions
- Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.

- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes/frozen fruit if too thin.
