What to do with 4 whole coconuts?

Bought for a class I teach but not used. We finished school today and now I have four coconuts in their shells, one week past BBF.

What can I do with them please?

Eat them?

Or dry them out and grate them to use in cooking.

Make galloping horse noises?

I would say eat them, but four may be three coconuts too far. There must be recipes (cake? coconut macaroons?) using fresh coconut.

Open a coconut shy.

Don’t try to smash them open with a hammer on your kitchen counter Blush

If you like curries you can find some recipes using coconut. It freezes well, so any you don't want for now just grate and freeze for another time.

Thank you.
Mermaid bras were the first thing to mind. However The Guardian article is possibly more useful.

Glad to know it freezes.

Sing the song about

“How about these coconuts” whilst dancing around your kitchen with them against your chest

I hope they were ethically sourced. Read a horror story of abused monkeys collecting them the other day... Very sad.
Sorry not meant to put you off your delicious treats!

There is a delicious Madhur Jeffrey roast coconut chicken curry recipe that uses quite a lot of fresh grated coconut:
