Coconut Ice Squares Food

COCONUT ICE {EASY, NO-COOK RECIPE}

Steps:

• Grease a 7 or 8-inch square pan with oil or non-stick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add half of the condensed milk, half of the icing sugar, and vanilla extract, stir well until combined.
• Next, add half of the desiccated coconut, mix well until combined. You may use your hands the mix thoroughly if it gets difficult to mix.
• Press the white mixture over the base of the pan, smooth out the surface with an offset spatula or your hands. Set aside.
• Wipe out the bowl, and add the remaining condensed milk, icing sugar, along with the pink food color, and rose essence, stir well until combined.
• Next, add the rest of the desiccated coconut, mix well until combined.
• Press the pink mixture over the white layer, smooth out the surface with an offset spatula or your hands.
• Cover the pan with a cling film or aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight. It usually sets in 2-3 hours, but for best results refrigerate it overnight. You may also let it air-dry, uncovered, at room temperature.
• Lift the parchment paper out of the pan. Let the coconut ice stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Cut into desired sized pieces.

Steps:

• 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.
