Coconut Ice Slice Recipes

Steps:

• Sift together the self raising flour and salt (and cocoa if using) into a bowl.
• Add the sugar, coconut, and melted butter.
• Mix well.
• Stir in the beaten eggs and milk (and vanilla if using).
• Spread mixture into a slice tin and bake in a moderate oven 350'F/180'C for 25-30 minutes.
• When cold ice/frost with either lemon or chocolate icing/frosting.
• Sprinkle some extra coconut over top of icing/frosting if liked.
• Cut into bars or squares.

Steps:

• Blend the 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter.
• Add 1 egg mix well.
• Blend 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
• When well blended press into a cookie sheet. Bake at 350' for 25 30 minutes.
• Blend together 1 cup coconut, 1 cup icing sugar, 3 Tablespoons melted butter and the food colouring.
• When well blended add just enough hot water to make it spreadable.
• Ice while still warm.

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.

Steps:

• Line a 900g loaf tin with enough cling film to allow you to wrap the sides over the top of the tin later on. Whisk cream with the sugar until it holds peaks. Whisk in coconut cream and the lime juice and zest until it holds its shape again. Tip into tin and smooth the top, wrap the cling film back over and place in the freezer for at least 4 hrs but preferably overnight. Can be made up to 2 weeks ahead.
• Before serving, toss all the fruit with the sugar and the lime and set aside. When ready to serve, take the slice out of the freezer (don't take it out sooner as you would with most other frozen desserts). Unmould the slice onto a long, chilled platter, then use a knife dipped in very hot water to cut thick portions. Serve on chilled serving plates with the fruit spooned around.
