Vanilla COCONUT SHAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING!? This recipe is too good to be true, yet here it is. In all its luscious glory: the vegan shake. —EvE

SERVES 1 OR 2

SHAKE

1 (13½-oz [400-ml]) can full-fat coconut milk, preferably left in the fridge overnight

3 frozen bananas, chopped

½ tsp chopped vanilla bean or vanilla extract

1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup

PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL

2 tbsp (23 g) peanut butter

1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup

2 tbsp (30 ml) nondairy milk

FOR THE SHAKE

Scoop out the thick, creamy white coconut cream that should have set in the top of the can: this is what you want to use (if this doesn’t happen, don’t worry about it—your shake just won’t be as thick … but if you want it to be thick, add another banana). Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth, thick and sexy.

FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL

Whisk all of the caramel ingredients together until smooth.

Pour some caramel into a glass or two, then scoop in some shake, and keep doing this until you’ve used everything up.
