Old Fashioned Coconut Ice
This converted recipe will have you reaching for another piece. Slightly healthier than grandma’s recipe, but still a little bit naughty.
I have a LOT of cookbooks made for me by my mother and they are all great recipes. Such a legacy of good old fashioned recipes and I rarely look at them...anyway, I kept seeing a raw version of coconut ice pop up here and there and I was going to do that. But I remember with such fondness the beautiful pink and white confection of my childhood that I decided to go the original route, and just ‘healthy’ it up a notch. Here it is...still not good for you in one big slab, but just limit yourself to a square a day. Delightful and nostalgic, all in the same mouthful! This recipe appears in The Weekend Table, in the party section...for obvious reasons.
