Today I tried out my new blender. After a good night's rest and getting to know the other kitchen appliances it was time for some hard work. We started by powdering stevia (1 cup stevia, 1 teaspoon cornstarch). It did a fairly good job, it did it fast and I was happy.
Then we moved to almond milk. Once again outstanding performance. Next time I think I will try blending the almonds even further for a thicker milk. The milk is supposed to be working on becoming a almond milk yogurt now.
Now the big test, pureeing a fresh coconut. Pureeing coconut was not a hard requirement, more like a nice to have, but I'd be very happy if my blender could do it. This was my first time working with a fresh coconut and I found it harder to open than dry coconut. It took me close to an hour and at a certain point there was coconut flying everywhere, on the walls, on the floor. After my coconut ordeal I got the meat in the blender along with the water that was inside the coconut. Would the blender be up to the test? You be the judge.
That's coconut ice cream ready to hit the freezer and be churned after.
My blender did a fairly good job with the coconut
It was still a bit grainy, I admit, next time I'll try to puree it longer and see if it improves, but the texture was fairly decent.
Spent a lot of time in the kitchen this afternoon. Still need to prep chicken and horse mackerel for tomorrow.
