COCONUT ICE SQUARES



Coconut ice squares image

This recipe was re-tested and updated on 05 April 2011. It now uses 250g of sweetened condensed milk and works beautifully.

Provided by Lesley Waters

Categories     Buffet, Snack, Treat

Time 15m

Yield Approx 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

250g sweetened condensed milk
250g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting
200g dessicated coconut
pink edible food colouring, optional

Steps:

  • Using a wooden spoon, mix together the condensed milk and icing sugar in a large bowl. It will get very stiff. Work the coconut into the mix until it's well combined - use your hands, if you like.
  • Split the mix into two and knead a very small amount of food colouring into one half. Dust a board with icing sugar, then shape each half into a smooth rectangle and place one on top of the other. Roll with a rolling pin, re-shaping with your hands every couple of rolls, until you have a rectangle of two-tone coconut ice about 3cm thick.
  • Transfer to a plate or board and leave uncovered for at least 3 hrs or ideally overnight to set. Cut into squares with a sharp knife and pack into bags or boxes. These will keep for up to a month at least, if stored in an airtight container.

CREAMY COCONUT POPSICLES



Creamy Coconut Popsicles image

Cream of coconut, not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream, is a thick syrupy confection made by blending coconut and sugar and is most often used in piña coladas. Mixed with cream, coconut milk and shredded coconut, it gives these pops that classic tropical flair. One note: Coconut milk and cream of coconut naturally separate, so be sure to stir well before measuring.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 10m

Yield About 8 popsicles

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup coconut milk
3/4 cup cream of coconut
1/3 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Have ready a 10-cup (1/3 cup each) popsicle mold. In a large glass measuring cup, combine heavy cream, coconut milk, cream of coconut, shredded coconut, and salt and whisk to combine. Distribute mixture evenly between molds, whisking mixture a bit between each one, then cover and freeze for 1 hour. Add the popsicle sticks and continue to freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
  • To unmold, briefly dip the mold in hot water a few times just until the pops can be pulled out. Take care not to melt the pops.

Tips:

  • For a smoother ice cream base, use full-fat coconut milk and make sure it is well chilled before churning.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Pour the ice cream base into a shallow pan and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • To make the graham cracker crust, you can use store-bought graham cracker crumbs or make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess graham cracker crust around the edges.
  • For a more decadent dessert, you can top the ice cream squares with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Coconut ice cream squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy coconut ice cream filling and a graham cracker crust, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
