- For fresh coconut, open a Groovy Coconut and extract the white flesh.

- Chop the orange papaya flesh into bite-sized pieces. Add the pieces to the bowl.
- In a medium-sized bowl, follow the directions on the pudding mix box to make a quick-set pudding. Let set, and then add the sour cream. Mix until smooth.

- To serve, scoop the pudding mixture into the reserved Solo papaya skins. Add slices of Florida starfruit to the top and sprinkle with 2 tbs. of the reserved coconut.
