Ingredients

Coconut Ice

  • 4 cups caster sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
  • several drops pink food colouring

Method

Coconut Ice

  • Line a 28cm x 18cm slice tin with baking paper.
  • Combine the sugar and milk in a large saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and allow to boil for 5 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Take the mixture off the heat and add the coconut. Stir to combine.
  • Return the mixture to the heat and cook, stirring for another 5 minutes. The mixture should look like porridge. It may need a little more than 5 minutes.
  • Pour half the mixture into the prepared slice tin and place in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  • Add a few drops of pink food colouring to the remaining mixture and stir well to get an even pink colour.
  • Pour the pink mixture over the white mixture and leave to set at room temperature.
  • Cut into bite sized pieces.
