"I used this recipe from the chris evans show and it worked a treat. The trick is to keep sitrring once it of the heat - as it cools it will thicken and set. hope me mum likes it as its one of her xmas prezzies!! Coconut Ice Ingredients 12 oz Sugar 1/4 pt Milk 40z Dessicated Coconut Red Food colouring 1or 2 drops Place milk and sugar in a pan and bring to the boil(Stirring so it doesn't burn), then boil for 5 minutes stirring ocassionally. After 5 minutes pour onto the coconut and stir. Split in to two bowls & add food colouring to one bowl until pink. Keep stirring both bowls until the coconut mixture starts to set/crystalize, then press the white mixture onto a tray followed by the pink mixture. Leave to cool, cut into dice and enjoy... "
