Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled), cooled
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
  • 2 small ripe banana, frozen, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed coconut milk (or regular sweetened condensed milk for non-vegan)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make sure 1 cup cooled strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled) is fully cooled to room temperature or refrigerated before blending; hot liquid will melt the ice and dilute the drink.

  2. 2

    Add 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled), 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned), 2 small frozen, sliced ripe banana, 2 tbsp sweetened condensed coconut milk (or regular sweetened condensed milk for non-vegan), 1 cup ice cubes, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract to a blender.

  3. 3

    Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust sweetness with more sweetened condensed coconut milk (or regular sweetened condensed milk for non-vegan) if desired.

  5. 5

    Pour into chilled glasses and dust with 1/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish) if using. Serve immediately.
