Recipe's preparation

  1. Measure milk, sugar and pinch of cream of tartar into TM bowl.
  2. Cook for 12mins/100C/Speed 2-3


    Do not put MC cover on, place TM basket over lid instead!

    Put MC cover back on and blend for 1min/Speed 4-5.
  4. Scrape down sides and work quickly to pour it into a slice tray lined with baking paper.
  5. Repeat the process for second layer. This time add a couple of drops of pink food colouring (cochineal) at the same time as coconut.
  6. Allow to cool on bench for half an hour and then cool in fridge for at least 1.5hrs before cutting into pieces.

Tip

It is really important to remove the MC cover and use the basket instead while cooking the sugar, milk and tartar. Leaving it on keeps too much moisture in.

 

Also, I reccommend rinsing with hot water and detergent between the first and second layer.

    Childhood memories!

    super easy to make, and a perfect result, thanks for a great recipe. My slice tin was a bit big, so I made three layers which looked nice. Nice for Xmas gifting.

    Just like I remembered school fete coconut ice to be. Perfect recipe. So easy to throw together with pantry staples too. I remember mum making it once on the stove top and saying "never again". I only wish we could make it together now in the thermomix 💕

    Sounds like your sugar was not melted enough.

  • Not sure what happened but

    Submitted by Claireyb on 17. February 2016 - 15:38.

    Not sure what happened but mine tasted very sugary, almost like it was crunchy. Any suggestions for what I did wrong?

  • This was so easy to make &

    Submitted by Mkoehler on 23. December 2015 - 10:27.

    This was so easy to make & just like the coconut ice I remember eating when I was little.  I just made the top layer green instead of pink because it's for Christmas.

  • I love it! I've made 2

    Submitted by osram on 29. October 2014 - 10:20.

    I love it! I've made 2 batches so far, 1 in the TM31 and 1 in the TM5. Don't bother to rince out the bowl for the second layer as it saves time plus your only adding colouring to create the second layer.

  • This really is a grandma

    Submitted by Sarah_Joy on 13. January 2014 - 21:28.

    This really is a grandma recipe. My Nana wrote an almost identical one down for me (minus the thermomix of course!) It's always a winner with the family.

  • I just make the first layer,

    Submitted by Madilou82 on 22. December 2013 - 16:12.

    I just make the first layer, rinse the bowl and make the second layer straight away. By the time you've done that it is pretty much set anyway and doesn't need any extra time. 

    Hope it works out well for you.

  • Do you need to set the first

    Submitted by Monkeychops08 on 21. December 2013 - 21:20.

    Do you need to set the first layer before popping on the second? TIA

    very easy to make & will be great for Christmas  tmrc_emoticons.)
