This childhood favourite is all grown up, bursting with layers of fresh raspberries and melted white chocolate.
Coconut ice was one of my favourite things to make as a kid. For ages I used the recipe on the side of the sugar packet that involved boiling sugar syrup but until I discovered a no-cook version that’s quicker, smoother and doesn’t involve molten sugar.
I didn’t realize how sugary sweet the boiled coconut ice really is. The white chocolate adds flavour (not just sweetness) to the white layer, while the fresh raspberries add much-needed tartness to balance it all out. It’s a winner of a recipe that’s super easy to make with kids!
