Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh young coconut meat
- 1/4 cup coconut water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons raw honey (or liquid stevia, to taste)
- fresh berries , for topping
Instructions
- Carefully open a young Thai coconut using a cleaver. (Keep one hand behind your back when using that big knife!) I simply whack away around the middle until a "lid" opens.
- Scoop out all of the coconut meat (about 1 cup) and toss it into a high-powered blender, along with a 1/4 cup of the fresh coconut water. (Reserve the rest for a delicious post-workout drink!) Add the honey and vanilla, then blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the blender as necessary.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, then allow to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Pudding will thicken slightly when chilled.
- Top with your favorite fresh berries and enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If opening a coconut intimidates you, many stores now offer young Thai coconuts with the "lids" already opened! They are often packed in ice around the produce section at Whole Foods.
