Coconut shy champion, now what to do with 12 coconuts?

[zanz1bar]

Dh and Ds are very proud of their prize cocnuts , but what can I do with fresh coconut?

Eat it as is. DD adores it - would eat a whole one. In fact, I love it too.

You can substitute fresh for desiccated in a lot of recipes, although if the recipe calls for the sweetened stuff you may want to add a little sugar. I use it freshly grated over curries - yum yum.
There are numerous coconut cake recipes - here's one with fresh coconut in.

We also like coconut with strawberries and lime juice. I expect you could make a pretty fabulous granola with it, and ice cream if you have an ice cream maker?

Congrats to your men.

Madhur Jaffrey suggests shredding it and freezing it for use in curries (I can't find a link though, sorry).

Get them to set up their own coconut shy out the front of your house to make a bit of money from passers by.

thanks for the freezer tip, i might try that.

ooooh oooh ooooh

I know I know I know

juggle 'em

ha ha, not as funny as the horse clip clop noises i can make with the coconut shells.
Funnily no one in the house finds it as hilarious as me.
