Keto Vanilla Coconut Milkshake Recipe
Introduction
This Keto Vanilla Milkshake is a creamy, low-carb treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking your diet. It’s rich, smooth, and easy to make with simple ingredients you can find at home.
Ingredients
- 1 13.5-oz can coconut milk (cold; use only cream and discard coconut water)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or more coconut milk/cream for dairy-free/paleo)
- 1/4 cup Besti powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine the coconut milk cream, heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 20 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: Add the ice cubes to the blender. Pulse several times just until the ice is crushed but still chunky. Avoid over-blending to prevent the shake from becoming watery.
Tips & Variations
- For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with extra coconut milk cream or a nut-based milk like cashew cream.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less powdered sweetener to suit your taste.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the vanilla flavor.
Storage
This milkshake is best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture and taste. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing as it can affect consistency.

FAQs
Can I use other sweeteners instead of monk fruit allulose blend?
Yes, you can substitute with erythritol, stevia, or another keto-friendly sweetener, but adjust quantities to taste as sweetness levels vary.
Is it necessary to discard the coconut water?
Yes, discarding the coconut water and using only the thick cream improves the milkshake’s creaminess and reduces watery texture.
