Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups young coconut meat
- 2 cups coconut water
- 0.5 cup condensed milk
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Prepare the young coconut by cracking it open using a cleaver or a sharp knife. Carefully pour out the coconut water and strain it to remove any bits and shell pieces.
Scoop out the soft coconut meat using a spoon. Set aside 2 cups of coconut meat for the shake.
In a blender, add the young coconut meat, strained coconut water, condensed milk, crushed ice, and vanilla extract.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Taste the buko shake and add sugar if additional sweetness is desired. Blend again to incorporate the sugar.
Add ice cubes to the blender and blend for a few more seconds to get a chilled and slushy consistency.
Pour the buko shake into glasses and serve immediately for best results.
