I really like having the time to put together these creations for our friends down here. I'd like to do it more often too, so watch this space!!
care to share your coconut ice recipe? Loving the little rainbows of goodness!
Good job!! I enjoyed those anzacs you baked on the way home....you even inspired me to make them (almost - well, I thought about it, then ran out of time!!),
Coconut Ice:
Combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 3 1/3 cups of icing sugar and 4 1/4 cups desiccated coconut. mix well, divide the mixture in half. Press half in the base of a small slab tin, colour the rest with food dye. Press the pink mixture over the white slab. Chill until firm.
I just remembered that I also used to add a bit of lemon juice when I made this as a kid, so that might help with mixing and rolling it out. It was tough going! The cold weather wouldn't have helped either I'm sure. Enjoy!
