Preparation

Step 1

1 . Line the base and sides of a deep (4cm+) 19cm square dish with plastic cling wrap
2 . Sift the icing sugar into large bowl. Stir in the coconut, condensed milk and vanilla extract.
3 . Press half the mixture firmly into the base of the pan. Work the food colouring into the remaining mixture, kneading well in order to distribute the colour. Press the coloured layer evenly over the white layer.
4 . Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. Remove the coconut ice from tray, peel away the cling wrap, and cut into squares. The coconut ice will keep for a week if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
