Ingredients:
- Icing sugar
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Desiccated coconut (unsweetened – this recipe is sweet enough!)
- a food coloring of your choice
- Cardamom powder
Instructions
-
-
Split the condensed milk between two medium-sized bowls, and mix the food coloring into one of them.397 g (14 oz) tin of condensed Milk,2 drops food colorings
-
Add half of the confectioner’s sugar to one bowl and half to the other, and stir each bowl.400 g (3 1/4 cups) confectioners’ sugar (icing sugar)
-
Add in half of the desiccated coconut to one bowl and half to the other and mix each bowl again using a fork.320 g (3 1/4 cups) desiccated coconut
- add cardamom powder
-
The mixtures should come together into a shape-able ball at this point.
-
Line a board or tray with baking parchment paper and dust it with a sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar (icing sugar).
-
-
Tip the white mixture out onto the baking parchment and sprinkle a little more confectioners’ sugar on top. Use your hands to shape the mixture into a square or rectangle that is about 3/4″ thick. You can use a rolling pin to ensure the top is flat.
-
On a separate board, shape the pink mixture – ensuring the square/rectangle is approx. the same length/width as the white one.
-
Transfer the pink slab on top of the white slab (use the baking parchment and flip the pink layer over carefully on top of the white layer, or use a large spatula to transfer). Squash it down very slightly so that the pink and white layers stick together.
-
Leave, uncovered, to dry for 3-10 hours, and then cut into small cubes. I cut into 48 cubes – (6 cubes by 8 cubes)
