Indulge in the delightful sweetness of Vegan Coconut Ice, a no-bake treat that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. With its signature dual layers—one pure white and the other a soft pink—this classic confection is reinvented with entirely plant-based ingredients. Made with creamy coconut cream, desiccated coconut, and a hint of vanilla extract, this recipe creates a chewy, melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels utterly decadent. The vibrant pink hue is achieved using vegan-friendly food coloring, making it perfect for festive occasions or as a standout homemade gift. Ready in just 20 minutes of prep time and requiring no cooking, this simple yet elegant dessert is both flavorful and fuss-free. Serve chilled for a refreshing bite of tropical bliss, and enjoy the pure joy of coconut in every square!
Line a small square or rectangular baking tin (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and icing sugar. Mix thoroughly to remove any lumps from the icing sugar.
Pour in the coconut cream and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls. Leave one half plain and white.
In the second bowl, add the pink food coloring and mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
Press the white coconut mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared tin, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Next, carefully layer the pink coconut mixture on top of the white layer. Again, smooth the surface evenly.
Refrigerate the tin for at least 2-3 hours, or until the coconut ice is firm and set.
Remove the coconut ice from the tin using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 squares or rectangles.
Store the vegan coconut ice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
