This is such a simple recipe that you can make fit whatever theme or occasion you are going with! So I thought that I would create a Halloween batch to show you just how easy it is, kids say it reminds them of Pumpkins. Elsewhere on this site is my Frozen Coconut Ice which is white and blue, today I have created orange and green, and for Christmas you can easily create red and green or red and white, Pinks for Valentines Day, Greens for St Patricks – you get the picture!

The recipe itself is so easy – 4 simple ingredients, a bit of mixing and some food colouring. There is of course the other variety that involves cooking and setting the coconut ice to the soft ball stage – but this one is so tasty quick and simple.

You do need to work quickly as it sets nice and quickly. I separated the coconut ice into two bowls once made to colour separately.

This is a great plate to take to your end of year functions, school fairs, Christmas parties or birthdays! So quick to make it will set in only a few hours or less!

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 Cups Icing Sugar, 490 grams
• 3 Cups Desiccated Coconut, 270 grams
• 1 tin Condensed Milk (400g)
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• Green & Red and Yellow (to make orange) Food Colouring

Instructions

1. Combine the icing sugar, coconut, condensed milk and vanilla in a bowl and blend well. Once it begins to come together use your hands or a strong wooden spoon to kneed it until completely combined .
2. Take half the mixture into another bowl and add a few drops of green food colouring until you get the desired colour, work quickly as it does begin to set.
3. Add red and yellow to the other half to make desired orange colour.
4. Line a baking tin (I used a loaf tin today for a bit thicker or a slice tin) with baking paper or a slight spray of cooking oil, and spread the green mixture evenly into the tray, press down with a damp hand to get it smooth and even.
5. Carefully dollop the orange mixture over the green and with the back of a spoon or your damp hand cover the green evenly with mixture, ensuring the two colours do not mix.
6. Refrigerate until set and slice with a sharp knife into small squares.
7. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
8. Enjoy!
