Notes
- This recipe makes at least 25 squares of coconut ice (roughly 1.5 inches in size).
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature for 2 weeks. I highly recommend cutting the slab as you want to eat the coconut ice, rather than cutting up the entire slab in one go. It will continue to firm up over time, but still remain soft and fudgy inside.
- To add an extra twist to your coconut ice, drizzle with melted chocolate or add flavouring to each layer.
- For a Neopolitan look, divide the coconut, icing sugar and coconut condensed milk into thirds and replace 30 grams of the icing sugar with cocoa powder.
- If you can only find larger cans of coconut condensed milk, increase the amount of coconut and icing sugar. The bonus of this is that you'll end up with even more coconut ice to enjoy. Use the same amount of icing sugar as the ml in the can and then times the can size by 0.8 to calculate the amount of shredded coconut you'll need. Eg if you have a 400 ml can of condensed milk, use 400 grams of icing sugar and 320 grams of shredded coconut.
