raeannasun,
thanks for the links. for the flan recipe, can you suggest a sub for the persimmon -- i find them hard to get near me, at least good ones!

my favorite way to use young coconut, besides just downing that fabulous nectar, is to blend the meat and some of the water with some soaked nuts, fruit and various spices/flavorings to make porriges for breakfast (over sliced fresh fruit) or as pie fillings/puddings. just about every combinationi've tried has been totally yummy!

glad you started this thread. i'm looking forward to some great ideas and links! :D

many blessings to all!

I like to keep it simple.

1 baby coconut
several ice cubes
capfull of vanilla extract


Dump coconut milk into blender, scrape out meat add to blender. Whirl nicely. Add icecubes and vanilla, whirl more... drink.

You can add frozen pineapple to it instead of the ice cubes to get more of a pina collada type taste.

Similar to what Jinxiecat said, they are awesome in smoothies. I put the meat and water with 1/2 a banana and some pinepple or mango and some cinnamon. This is to die for!
