Coconut Cooler
1C raw (unsalted) cashews
1 young coconut
1 can of coconut milk
1 glurg of agave nectar to taste (i am guessing i used between 1/4-1/2c)
a splash of vanilla extract
a splash of coconut extract
Ice
In a high powered blender (I use a Vitamix), put your cashews and the meat and water from the young coconut; Blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients with ice on top to fill. Blend up and serve immediately. It will have an "icy" or slushy texture. It is a lightly sweet creamy coconuty drink that is very refreshing. A great summertime treat. It can make 4-5 large glasses or 8-10 small ones.
You could also make yummy popsicles out of this; just use a little water instead of ice and pour into your popsicle molds* and freeze.
*dixie cups with a stick or tupperware molds work well
Another thing that came to mind that would be tasty (but I haven't tried yet) would be to throw in some fresh pineapple!! YUM!
