Coconut meat is the white-ish stuff inside the ripe coconut. Coconuts have an outer husk, a shell, and meat when mature. When they are still immature the insides are liquid (coconut milk) and as they mature, the coconut milk starts to turn into the coconut "meat" or "flesh".
It is being used, in a sense, like the term walnut "meat" referring to the edible part of the nut (coincidentally also in a shell).
