It is the easiest thing to whip up (no pun intended :). Enjoy! Yield: 1 serving You will need: Milkshake: -1 1/2 cup coconut milk (any milk) -1/2 cup ice -2 Oreo Cookies Coconut Whip Cream: -1 can full fat coconut milk -1/2 teaspoon vanilla Directions: 1. Open can of coconut milk and place in fridge overnight. You will see that the fat content rises to the top. In the morning, scoop out the coconut fat and place in bowl with vanilla. Beat it with a hand mixer until peaks form. Store in fridge or freezer in airtight container 2.

Top with the coconut whip cream and voila! *Add a frozen banana to the shake to make the texture more like a malt shake
