It’s funny the awesome things you discover by accident! This was one of those very things! I had put my young thai coconuts into our bar fridge which didn’t seem cold enough at the time so I turned the dial down…then when I took the coconuts out of the fridge and cracked the coconuts open I discovered they had frozen! So I worked with it..I scooped out the frozen coconut water out and ate it like gelato and now here I present to you ‘”instant” coconut ice’*. This is pretty quick ice-y treat minus the time it takes to crack open the coconut.

*You will need to know how to open the coconut. Here are some instructions.

How To Make “Instant” Coconut Ice

Ingredients:

  • 1 x young thai coconut 
  • optional: sweetener such as maple syrup, honey or stevia etc
  • optional: lemon or lime juice

How to:

  1. Open the coconut.
  2. Scoop the coconut ice out and put in a bowl or glass.
  • Serve with lemon or lime juice and your sweetener of choice

Hi Erzebet!

Thank you! Well…I guess because it was frozen it just stayed together…also the white coconut “meat” seemed to stick onto the coconut “ice” so it formed a covering over the coconut ice and so it didn’t escape.
Does that answer your question, or not really?

i have just noticed that you used young thai coconuts. the ones i use are different – they have the usual strong brown shell – maybe they are mature coconuts?? and in order to break them i make one hole from where i get the coconut water and only after that i break it in pieces for the coconut meat. Did you let the coconut water freeze and only after that broke the fruit in pieces? This is what i understood from your comment.

Hi Erzebet.

I think the ones you use may in fact be the mature coconuts. Yes you’re correct I did let the coconut water freeze and then after that I broke through the coconut shell. Let me know if you have any more problems with it.
