    I use a similar coconut macaroon recipe to the first one on here. So darn good, and simple as can be. You can make them in one bowl, and pretty quickly. I enjoyed the Kermit "Lime in the Coconut."

    YUMMY! What's really funny is that as I'm reading this lens I'm eating Coconut Panna Cotta with crushed pineapple and almond praline. Great lens; I love the recipes you included.

    Your lens made me smile. I love coconut! And, in recent years research has been showing how beneficial pure, virgin and cold-pressed coconut oil is as well! :) I actually buy it by the gallon! (Ok... it does last a while!). I loved the YouTube videos that punctuate this lens too! AND... recipes for Coconut Cream Pie? I wish I could bless a lens more than once! :) A big Squidly Yummy Hug to you! :) Kath

    Glad to see someone else who is nuts about coconut! I got a great gift from an American friend this week: toasted coconut marshmallows and coconut Neapolitan candies. One of my favourite coconut recipes is for a banana chocolate cake topped with toasted coconut. Also love pina coladas. :::blessed:::

    Good stuff ... I'm quite familiar with coconut oil which is good for dry skin and has many heath benefits .

    I'm nuts about this lens. My fave cake as a child was a coconut cake made from hand grated ( by mom) coconut. Boy was it good! Thanks for the information about an under appreciated food.
  • knitter82 Feb 20, 2012 @ 8:42 pm | delete
    Nice lens...I can only get fresh coconuts where I live but am not skilled at cutting them...need to learn that this year since I've learned so much about how nutritious they are.

    I'm sooooo hungry right now! Great lens!
  • Funny_Beekeeper Feb 20, 2012 @ 9:56 am | delete
    I too like the fresh and cold coconut juice from the market, but it really has to be ice cold. I tried it warm once and it tastes completely different. I see some great ideas about coconut cream pies, maybe I'll give it a try ;)

    Why, oh WHY did you have to include those pics of coconut cream pies? Now I'm going to have to drop what I'm doing and go make one. The Kermit vid is hilarious! One of my favorite song, too!
  • NorDac Sep 23, 2011 @ 11:05 am | delete
    My family eats fresh coconut several times a week.

    You might like my coconut quiz lens. I've got one set of pictures on how they remove all the shell from the meat without hurting the meat with a machete, all so a set on using a machete to prepare a young coconut to drink the water.

    Well, I see I should've finished reading the list of books. You've already got "Coconut Cures" listed...along with other health related books. Sorry 'bout that. :)
  • Swisstoons Apr 19, 2009 @ 6:21 am | delete
    While I've never been crazy about macaroons, those two coconut pies up there had me drooling enough to pique my curiosity about possible medicinal uses (if any) or harmful effects (just in case I decided to whip up a pie). Apparently, there ARE medicinal uses. A quick Google search turned up a number of articles along these lines, including one review of a book entitled , "Coconut Cures," by Bruce Fife, ND (with a forward by an MD). Favoritng, starring and lensrolling this one to my Laftover food magnets lens.
  • 3c86a4 Feb 28, 2009 @ 6:41 pm | delete
    I love coconut too. Your macaroon recipe looks good, I have to make them. I've added you to my coconut lens. 5 stars!

  • EverythingMouse Aug 10, 2008 @ 1:13 am | delete
    I have to confess that I know nothing about coconuts. Well not the real ones anyway that you have to deal with actually getting into them. I got one recently in my bag of organic food from my co op and had to read up on how to get into it! It was worth it though. Love the pictures!

    Mmm--coconut water--that stuff is a miracle rehydrant--whenever i have blood drawn it's the only thing that revives me from feeling woozy for the rest of the day...great lens

    I love coconut, and have been drinking the water for a while now. Also I have been eating virgin cold pressed coconut oil in place of butter and I have a lot more energy than I used to, it also has helped my pain form rheumatoid arthritis. I highly recommend Dr Bruce Fife's book on coconuts, both the water and the oil.

    I used to buy them on the roadside in the Philippines.... there is nothing more tasty than the juice of a fresh coconut when you'r thirsty! Your lens would be a super addition to the 'Soups - Great Food - Recipes and Chefs' Group

    Mmmm, this is a yummy lens! (Coincidentally, my girls just picked out a coconut while we were grocery shopping yesterday.) These recipes looks delicious and some even look easy enough that I might actually make the attempt at making them. Superb work, great pictures, 5*'s for sure! :)

    Yum, I love coconut! I didn't realise they were so high in saturated fat; I would've guessed it was polyunsaturated :( Oh, well, pass the coconut anyway...

    I normally don't leave pointers to my lenses in a guest book entry, but you asked for a favorite recipe. Look at my Tres Leches Coconut Macaroons at my new lens: "Chef Keem's Best Recipes To Die From, Ever!"
    Your lens is fabulous! 5*s, fav'ed!

    My Mom used to make macaroons all the time when we were kids and Dad's favorite dessert was Coconut Cream pie. I'm thinking that we must have had A LOT of coconut in our kitchen... Haven't thought of macaroons in years!

    Fantastic lens, 5*s! I've been selling Chef Keem's Famous Tres Leches Coconut Macaroons for the last 5 years at farmers markets and groceries around Austin, Texas. Here's my secret: I add a little cream and 2 Tablespoons of sour cream to the recipe you show above. And I use 28 ozs. (2 bags) of coconut flakes per can of condensed milk, and Mexican Vanilla. They sell faster than I can make them, sometimes.
