Cocada Venezolana (Frozen Coconut Smoothie)

-1 14-oz. package frozen freshly shredded coconut
-1 C. milk
-1/4  C. coconut cream (cream, not milk)
-1 14-oz. can condensed milk (if you don't want it as sweet, you can sub some of this with milk or coconut milk)
-1 tsp vanilla
-Pinch of salt
-Ice
-Dash of cinnamon


1) Place the frozen coconut, milk, condensed milk, pinch of salt, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. You can serve the cocada as is, without ice, adding additional milk to achieve desired texture.
2) Serve immediately with a dash of powdered cinnamon on top of each glass.
NOTE: To make a frozen version, add ice and blend until desired texture is reached. (This method works well with more traditional blenders, which can't completely process the coconut. The ice helps to make a more consistent texture).
