Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Desiccated coconut
- 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 250 grams Powdered (icing) sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 drops Pink food coloring
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined to form a thick, sticky mixture.
Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls.
Leave one half of the mixture plain and set it aside. In the other bowl, add 4 drops of pink food coloring. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
Press the plain (white) coconut mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten and smooth the surface.
Next, press the pink coconut mixture on top of the white layer, spreading and smoothing it out evenly.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the coconut ice slice out of the pan.
Cut into 16 squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between each cut for neat edges.
Store the coconut ice slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
