Ingredients for Coconut Fruit Ice Cream Serves 5

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh strawberries
- You should choose strawberries that still have their green caps and leaves. They should have a distinctive fragrant smell and a bright red color with a juicy feel.
- Do not choose strawberries that have white or green spots, as they will not continue to ripen after being picked, and those will not be sweet and delicious.
- Additionally, do not be tempted to choose large fruits; only select medium-sized, ripe ones as they will have more flesh and be juicier.
How to choose fresh and delicious grapes
- When buying, choose grapes that are medium-sized, not too big, slightly soft, with a smooth and shiny skin, and no bruises.
- Additionally, freshly harvested grapes will have a powdery coating on the skin. The stems should be a bright green color, firm, and not wilted.
- Do not choose grapes that show signs of being mushy or have small blemishes on the skin, as these may be grapes that are diseased or have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose fresh and delicious melons
- Choose melons that have a moderate weight, with clear lines on the surface. When sniffed, they should have a light, sweet aroma similar to watermelon.
- Additionally, when buying, you should hold the melon close to your ear and shake it gently. If you hear a sound coming from inside the melon, it is ripe and can be bought for immediate use.
- Do not choose melons with an outer skin that has turned black, is chipped, or has an unusual smell, as these melons may be wilted or treated with chemicals.
How to choose delicious crispy Thai jackfruit
- Choose fruits that have a uniformly elongated shape, large opened eyes, and the thorns are not sharp and are spaced further apart compared to when the jackfruit is still green.
- Additionally, good Thai jackfruit will feel heavy when lifted. Gently tap or flick the skin of the fruit and if it produces a dull sound, then it is ripe and delicious.
- Avoid purchasing fruits with green skin, sharp thorns, and close-spaced thorns; if you tap them, they sound solid. These jackfruits are not mature enough, and they will not have the rich sweetness of older jackfruit.

How to make Coconut Fruit Ice Cream

Prepare the fruits
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, then use a straw to poke from the tail of the fruit to the top to remove the stem, then cut in half.
For the jackfruit, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips. Wash the grapes, detach the fruit from the stem, remove the seeds, and cut the fruit in half.
For the melon, after cutting it in half and removing the seeds, cut it into small, thin pieces suitable for eating.

Pouring the ice cream mold
First, add the water from 2 coconuts, 100g of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of honey into a bowl, and stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Next, add a little bit of strawberries, jackfruit, grapes, and cantaloupe into the ice cream mold, then pour the coconut water mixture you just stirred into each mold and cover the ice cream mold with a lid.
Place in the freezer for about 6 hours or overnight, and it will be ready to enjoy!
Tip:- If you don’t have an ice cream mold, you can use paper cups as a substitute.
- When using paper cups to prevent the cups from getting soggy before the ice cream sets, you should wrap the cups with plastic wrap and poke a hole in the middle to insert the wooden stick.
