TIP: For this recipe it is important to place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. The purpose for doing this is to separate the liquid from the cream.
Remove the can of coconut milk from the refrigerator. Open lid and gently scrape out the thick coconut cream (this will be the solid part of the milk) and set aside.
-
In a blender or Vita Mix add coconut cream, coconut milk, sugar and banana and blend until smooth.
-

-
Pour mixture into your favorite glass or a not-so-fancy but practical flute jar or Ball Contoured Jar with sipping straw.
