Fresh Coconuts from the neighbors! Thank you Marika and Emmy.
Fresh Coconut Meat
For this recipe you want the older more mature coconuts. They contain less coconut water and more coconut meat. The younger coconuts are better for drinking.
My husband, Robert created this recipe when we found ourselves having the good fortune of a load of coconuts showing up at our door!
