Coconut Ice Uncooked
This is easy enough for children to make, but popular with adults too. After several days, it becomes rather firm, but it seldom lasts this long!
2 cups desiccated coconut 2 cups icing sugar 1/2 of a 400g can sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp vanilla essence 1/4 tsp raspberry essence (optional) 4-5 drops of red food colouring Extra coconut for coating
Measure the coconut and icing sugar into a food processor or large bowl. Tip the condensed milk on top. Add the vanilla then process in bursts or mix with a flexible stirrer, then your hands.
Sprinkle some of the extra coconut on a sheet of plastic on a flat work surface. Press out half the mixture about 20cm square on the coconut. Add the raspberry essence and enough food colouring to give a pale pink colour to the mixture left in the bowl, mix in, then shape as previously.
Lay the pink layer on top of the white layer. Sprinkle a little extra coconut on top. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or longer, then cut into squares with a wet knife. Refrigerate until required, and eat after a few hours.
or Coconut Ice UNCOOKED This is a fantastic, easy recipe for coconut ice, with no cooking involved You need: 4 cups icing sugar 3 cups coconut 1 tin condensed milk 1 tsp vanilla essence pink food colouring Method: Mix all ingredients together. Separate the mixture into halves and add a drop or two of pink food colouring to one half - you may find mixing it in with your fingers in a kneading action is the easiest way to do this. Press first the white mixture into a tin and smooth until flat, then spread the pink mixture over the top, smoothing also.Refrigerate and cut into 3cm squares.

Vanilla extract is the magic ingredient for coconut ice - transforms it into something extraordinary - had some at the La Cigale French Market in Parnell today -a whole new world!
