PROCEDURE
​
-
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
-
Turn on low and slowly increase speed, blend until thick and creamy. For best results, do not over blend. It should be just combined and creamy but if you blend too long, the heat from the blender will affect the creamy, frozen consistency.
-
Pour into a glass and enjoy.
