| Coconut ice squares |
This recipe was re-tested and updated on 05 April 2011. It now uses 250g of sweetened condensed milk and works beautifully.
Ingredients
- 250g sweetened condensed milk
- 250g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting
- 200g dessicated coconut
- pink edible food colouring, optional
Method
- Using
a wooden spoon, mix together the condensed milk and icing sugar in a
large bowl. It will get very stiff. Work the coconut into the mix until
it’s well combined – use your hands, if you like.
- Split
the mix into two and knead a very small amount of food colouring into
one half. Dust a board with icing sugar, then shape each half into a
smooth rectangle and place one on top of the other. Roll with a rolling
pin, re-shaping with your hands every couple of rolls, until you have a
rectangle of two-tone coconut ice about 3cm thick.
- Transfer
to a plate or board and leave uncovered for at least 3 hrs or ideally
overnight to set. Cut into squares with a sharp knife and pack into bags
or boxes. These will keep for up to a month at least, if stored in an
airtight container.
