Chocolate Coconut Pudding |
The summer temperatures continue to prevail where I live and the craving for cold treats occurs frequently throughout the day. To the point where I don't have much interest in eating dinner as it usually consists of very hot foods like soup and steaming rice.
After school, my stomach is growling and I usually end up eating my biggest meal. Some days I'm naughty eat a few too many Snap Pea Crisps and peanuts, but today I decided to put some effort into making a snack.
Before I left for band class this morning, I asked my father to help me crack open a coconut ahead of time so I would be able to access the innards when I arrived home. Today's coconut was opened very beautifully; I assume he got enough practice from the previous ones earlier this week. It's a bit of a tedious process carefully spooning out the coconut water and then scrapping the meat out. But trust me, your efforts will not go to waste.
