Advantages: Yummy, morish, you can eat the rest of the condensed milk by the spoon!

Disadvantages: Sickly if you eat too much.

I'm not supposed to eat this stuff, but Coconut Ice is so delicious that I can't help but have a bit every now and then. I've had shop-bought Coconut Ice, but nothing beats homemade! This recipe is quick and easy too.

To make the Coconut Ice you'll need:

1 small tin of Condensed Milk (or half of a large tin)
6 oz of Dessicated Coconut
9 oz of Icing Sugar

(I'll mention some optional extras later).

Mix the Condensed Milk and Icing Sugar together, then mix in the Dessicated Coconut until the mixture is quite stiff.

Next, dust a tin with Icing Sugar and spead the mixture into a tin so it's half an inch to an inch thick (depending on how thick you like your Coconut Ice). If you don't have a baking tin, then you can spread the mixture on a plate, it's quite stiff so it will hold OK.

Put the Coconut Ice in the fridge and leave until it's firm. Then you can cut it into squares and enjoy until your heart's content (or until you feal sick!).

Optional Extras...

Melt some chocolate (try milk & white!) and drizzle it over the top of the Coconut Ice.

Or for a boozy grown-up version...

Add a few drops of Malibu (but not too much!) to the mixture before putting it in the tin.

I made a plain batch for work a couple of weeks ago and they thought it was delicious, in fact 3 people asked me for the recipe!

If you love coconut, then you'll love this!

Summary: Make some delicious Coconut Ice!
