coconut tutorial

Summer is finally here and what is more refreshing than Icecream! If you are looking for a healthy alternative to the sugar loaded popsicles or fatty Icecreams from the store, you can easily make sugarfree, glutenfree, dairyfree healthy ice cream with just 2 ingredients.

Simply blend 3 frozen bananas with a handful of raspberries (add vanilla extract if you like).
Blend until smooth and eat immediately! YUMMI! For a fancy presentation serve in a coconut half. (how to below ;))

Since many of you were asking on how I open a coconut I finally made a tutorial on how to open a coconut in 5 steps.

Feel free to try at home 🙂

 EQUIPMENT

STEP 1

First step, take your screwdriver and your hammer. Make three holes, exactly where the three eyes of the coconut are. It works best if you are sitting on the floor  putting the coconut between your feet. Once you have the holes pour out the coconut water into a bowl. (yes you can drink that :))

 STEP 2

Once the coconut is empty, take your pen and mark the equator around the bowl. This is the line where you are going to hit the coconut.

STEP 3

Now take the coconut bowl again between your feet and take your hammer. Slightly hit the coconut around the marked line. (you won’t hit too hard!) Allow this process time. You’ll need to hit that coconut more than 4 rounds around. Do the hammering as long as you see a crack along the line. When the crack is around you can open the coconut with your hands.

STEP 4

….and ready to be filled with Nicecream 🙂
