Coconut Ice

Ingredients

  • 397 cans Condensed Milk
  • 400g Dessicated Coconut
  • 400g Icing Sugar
  • red food colouring

Directions

1. Line a 7" x 13" tray with cling film
2. Put a whole can of condensed milk in a mixing bowl
3. Next, stir in the icing sugar. You should have a reasonably thick paste at this stage.
4. Now add in the coconut. This will be quite hard work, so if you do this in a mixer it will make your life a lot easier.
5. If the mixture is still a little soft (it should be extremely firm) add more icing sugar
6. Split the mixture in half, pressing the white half into the bottom of your tray and leveling with the back of a metal spoon.
7. Add 1 or 2 drops of red colouring to turn it pink (or more if you want a vibrant colour), then carefully dot lumps of the pink mixture on top of the white
8. Using the metal spoon, carefully tease the pink mixture over the white until the surface is smooth.
9. Cover with a clean dry tea towel, and leave over night
10. Cut into squares, and drop in batches into a bag with some icing sugar. Shake gently until each piece is coated, then plate and serve.

Note

Will keep in airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
