Coconut Ice
Coconut ice is a favourite sweet of ours and a great idea to give as a homemade gift at Christmas. You can make this several weeks in advance of the big day and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Serves: 12
Made with the help of the Dualit Hand Mixer, coconut ice is a simple traybake that can be customised with your favourite toppings; white chocolate chips, cranberries, glace cherries, mini marshmallows - add your favourite to the mixture to make it even tastier!
Ingredients
- 200g desiccated coconut
- 250g royal icing sugar
- 150g condensed milk
- 75g chocolate drops, cranberries or topping of your choice
- 2-4 tsps warm water
- Pink food colouring
- You will need a large bowl, 1 x 9" tray bake cake tin, cling film, sheet of greaseproof paper.
Method
- In a large bowl combine the icing sugar and coconut.
- Using the flat beaters on the Dualit Hand Mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the condensed milk to bind the mixture. This is where you can add a little water to help the mixture along.
- When the mixture becomes firm, divide in half and set aside one part.
- Colour one half of the mixture with a few drops of the pink food colouring and mix in the cranberries, chocolate pieces etc.
- Using a metal spoon, press the pink mixture into a lined traybake tin, making sure it is evenly spread.
- Take the white mixture and press over the top of the pink. Smooth over with a palette knife.
- Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for around an hour to set, or preferably overnight.
- When set, cut into small squares.
Top Tips
- Try scattering some cranberries or chocolate pieces on top for decoration.
- These are great for gifts at Christmas; place into small clear bags, mini cupcake boxes, in a cup or in a nice personalised dish. Tie bags with twine or ribbon.
