Vicky's Vegan Recipes #204

Coconut Ice

Ingredients

two cups white sugar
two thirds cup water
one teaspoon vanilla extract
one and one thirds cups flaked coconut
two drops red food coloring

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a 7 x 7 inch pan with parchment or waxed paper. In a medium, heavy-bottomed pan, heat sugar and water gently, without boiling, till sugar has meltes. Then, bring to a boil and cook till it reaches 240 degrees F/120 degrees C on a candy thermometer, or a little syrup dropped in a glass of cold water forms a soft ball.

Remove from fire and immediately mix in vanilla and coconut. Continue stirring till mixture begins to thicken, five to ten minutes.

Add half of the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a knife or spatula. Tint the other half of the mixture by mixing in the food coloring. Addthe pink mixture on top of other layer, and level the surface. Press all down firmly with the back of a spoon and allow to harden. When firm, turn out of the pan, remove the paper and slice into squares with a sharp knife.
