Ingredients
Ice Cube Coconut Milk:
- 1 400 ml full-fat can of coconut milk Preferably a creamy and thick brand
Strawberry Milk:
- 130 g fresh strawberries measure after slicing into quarters
- 45-60 ml of maple syrup based on how sweet the strawberries are
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 8-12 normal-size coconut milk ice cubes prepare as mentioned above
For Garnish (optional):
- Whipped Cream Coconut flavour
- Fresh cut strawberries
- Frozen and crushed strawberries
Instructions
To make the Ice Cube Coconut Milk:
- You may not already have these deliciously flavoured ice cubes ready in your freezer, so start making them. Around 6 hours before actually drinking your milkshake, you should start this process. First, open and mix a whole full-fat can of coconut milk until the texture is smooth and creamy.
- After that, you can begin to transfer this mixture into a blender where you can fully mix it. Besides that, you could also shake it in an air-tight jar. Next, you have to simply pour this mixture into an ice-cube tray and let it freeze.
To make Strawberry Milk:
- In order to make this shake, you will need to add your strawberries, vanilla and maple syrup to a fast blender. You can then blend on high-speed these ingredients until they are totally mixed. You should also ensure that there are no big strawberry pieces bobbing around.
- Switch the blender off and now start working with batches. You can add 2 to 3 coconut milk ice cubes to each batch. Blend each section on a semi-high speed until all of the ice cubes completely melt and mix. You can then keep adding more ice cubes to the mix until you reach a good consistency. Through trial and error, we discovered that 12 ice cubes of 1 ½ tbsp each had the best creamy texture.
- Serve the milkshake immediately. You can also add garnishes of frozen and crushed strawberries. A good topping is a delicious flavoured whipped cream. You can store this mixture in the fridge for around 24 hours. Or you could choose to freeze for a week and get some yummy strawberry ice cream.
Notes

- You can freeze the coconut milk ice cubes and store them for future desserts or cooking sprees.
- Nutritional information is just an estimate of one full-fat cup of coconut milk for two servings.
