Directions

1. Boil the sugar and water together until it spins a thread.

2. Add the grated coconut and stir until the mixture thickens, then add essence.

3. Remove from the fire and beat lightly until it looks grainy. Pour half into a greased pan.

4. Colour the remainder and quickly pour over the first half.

5. When cool but not hard, cut into blocks.

Note: Although called Coconut “Ice”, this dessert is not frozen, but is served at room temperature. Of course it can be refrigerated if desired.
