DESCRIPTION

This ultra-smooth and creamy coconut shake is the ultimate refreshing treat on a warm day. It’s rich yet refreshing with a tropical flair. The ingredients used are simple, healthy, and 100% plant-based. Super easy to make!

INGREDIENTS

▢ 1 cup coconut milk (full fat) frozen cubes
▢ 2 tablespoon coconut flakes toasted
▢ 2 tablespoon maple syrup
▢ ½ cup oat milk or any plant milk
▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ ⅓ cup crushed ice optional

METHOD

Pour coconut milk into an ice cube tray to freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
Note: It is best to use a silicone ice cub tray to make it easiest to pop them out when done.
Toast coconut shreds in a pan over medium heat. Remove from heat once the coconut shreds start turning light brown in color. Set a ½ teaspoon aside for garnishing.
Next pop out all the frozen coconut milk cubes and place them in a high-speed blender along with the rest of the ingredients.
Note: I use oat milk to blend with frozen coconut cubes, instead of coconut milk, to lessen the fat content. However any plant milk will work.
Pour cold coconut shake in a serving glass over crushed ice. Garnish the remaining toasted coconut shreds before serving.

NOTES

Ice cube removal: Using a silicone ice cube tray ensures easier removal of the coconut milk cubes. Always opt for silicone when possible.

Blend well: Stop the blender to check for ice cube chunks throughout, and continue blending the shake until it’s fully smooth.

Garnish: Always garnish just before serving your coconut shake to maintain the freshness and texture of the toasted coconut.

Sweetness: You can adjust the maple syrup based on your preference for a sweeter or less sweet dessert.

Watch the coconut: Coconut can burn quickly when toasting, so keep an eye on it and stir frequently.
