Hmmm...its like "create a recipe" challenge!

Hmm..I'm thinking you could make a cake out of the walnuts, macnuts and maca (not too much though) some agave or dates (if you have)....or blend some of the macadamias and coconut for a frosting and decorate with goji berries and cacao nibs!!

I was thinking of making coconut cherry balls mixed with nuts and dates: I have an abundance of raw shredded coconut because I've been using my coconuts to make frothy milk and butter - YUM! I recommend that you try to make these yummy things, and then use the coconut meat left over for other recipes - that's 3 things yielded from 1 fruit! Now that is rawsome!

Also, I put the shredded meat into fruit salads - it's a great way to include it in your diet, especially if you have the regular mature coconuts (the old, brown hairy ones) as I find they tend to be really chewy and a little dry - which they are if you've harvested them for their oil and milk like I do. Sprinkle it on top and let it sit overnight and it is to die for! I would say it's like the raw equivalent of a coconut rolled jelly cake! YUMMY! (And if you put it with things like plums/strawberries/cherries, it dyes the coconut pink and it's oh-so-pretty!)

I came across this recipe while searching for stuff to do with my left over coconut meat. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks good.
