This shake is perfect for a hot day :) I bought some fresh coconut milk from a local coconut store, it came in a ziploc and could only last for a few hours before it goes rancid. I thought the coconut milk wouldn’t taste that much different from the store bought canned coconut milk, but I was pleasantly surprised, I don’t really know how to describe the taste, it’s just different. The fresh coconut milk is not as heavy and the taste is very coconuty, it also has a cleaner and fresher taste (ok I did say I don’t really know how to describe this, didn’t I?) Well what can you do with some fresh coconut milk and some cocoa powder? dairy free milk shake!
All I did was put a cup of fresh coconut milk, 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder and a few ice cubes in a blender and blend. The foam on top is awesome, so fluffy and cold :3 This smoothie is only mildly sweet because all the sweetness came from the coconut milk. You might find it not sweet enough so feel free to add some honey.
oh my goodness! Every time I see the words coconut and chocolate in the same sentence I die a little inse.
NICE idea! :-)
