Ingredients
2 cups desiccated coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ cups icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Divide the mixture into two portions. Leave one portion plain and add a few drops of red food coloring to the other portion. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
- Line a square baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Press the plain coconut mixture into the base of the dish, smoothing it out evenly.
- Next, spread the colored coconut mixture on top of the plain layer, pressing it down gently to ensure it sticks.
- Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours or until it has set.
- Once set, slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
Notes
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes before slicing.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, use plant-based condensed milk alternatives.
- You can adjust the sweetness or colors to suit your preferences or for themed occasions.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Add nuts or lemon zest for added flavor variations.
