Weigh out your ingredients | ![]() |
Stir the condensed milk into the icing sugar until they are combined (the mixture gets quite stiff – nothing to worry about) | ![]() ![]() |
Now add the coconut – make sure it goes all the way through the mixture – if it’s too stiff to stir in easily you can use your hands | ![]() |
The traditional way to prepare coconut ice is to split the mixture in half at this point and colour half pink, then roll out both, leave to set (3 hours) and cut into squares.
We decided to use ice cube trays and leave all the mixture a lovely coconut colour. |

Once the mixture has had time to set – either cut it up or remove it from the moulds and enjoy with your book club chat. | ![]() |
