What to do if you come across a YS coconut:

Having recently come across a couple of coconuts for 9p each, I thought I would tackle the challenge head on to get the most from them....

Step 1
I pierced 2 of the 3 eyes and drained the water. You may simply drink this healthy drink if you wish.

I used this as part of the icing for my lime and coconut cupcakes this morning:



Step 2:
This evening I popped the hairy orb into the warm oven for about 10 mins then let it cool.

This made it easier to crack with the back of a knife. I tapped it firmly all the way round the centre and prised it open.

As it was partially dehydrated, the flesh was very easy to prise out!

I then peeled off the hard skin with a Y peeler and cut the flesh into small chunks.

This was chucked into a blender with about a litre of warm water and blended for a couple of mins:


Step 3:
Strain through a fine mesh sieve or flannel etc:


Step 4:
Behold the spoils of your labour: fresh frothy coconut milk and lots of fluffy coconut flesh for baking with:T:j

I went out to look for it again but no luck. I ended up feeling very dizzy I kept twirling around not knowing what direction I was meant to look in :rotfl:
