No Cook Easy Coconut Ice Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why did my coconut ice not set? ›

Why won't my Coconut Ice set? This is usually due to incorrect measurements or not leaving it for long enough in the fridge. However, it can be down to the ingredients, some brands of sugar and coconut will work better than others. Before setting, the mixture should be very stiff when mixing.

Pink food colouring is sometimes added, often on half of the sweet, resulting in pink and white colouration. This is done by layering the coloured mixture with a separate layer of uncoloured product, and then slicing the result into individual pieces.

What is Coconut Ice? Despite its name, there's no ice in coconut ice – just icing sugar, condensed milk, desiccated coconut and red food dye. That's it! This sweet and colourful fudge is traditionally made in two layers, with a white layer on the bottom and a pale pink layer on top.

The first thing to look at is the recipe. Have you added too much sugar, salt or alcohol? They will lower the freezing point of the mixture. And too much of any of these ingredients could stop the ice cream freezing altogether.

Sometimes it coalesces in the machine and feels grainy." Little blobs of un-emulsified coconut fat will only grow under agitation from an ice cream maker, and once they do, you can't get rid of them.

Coconut ice — also known as coconut creams — is considered a classic treat, not just in Britain, but in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. It's been a bake sale staple for generations.

When you crack open a fresh young coconut and pour out its contents, the water will look transparent at first. But over time, it will gradually start to turn pink. This process occurs because coconut contains the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO).

Temperature, age, sugar content, and how long the water has been exposed to air can all affect the coloration of coconut water. It's similar to how an apple turns brown after being cut and exposed to the air. Rest assured that, just as you can eat a brown apple, you can safely consume pink coconut water.

Shave ice or Hawaiian shave ice is an ice-based dessert made by shaving a block of ice and flavoring it with syrup and other sweet ingredients. On Hawai'i Island, it is also referred to as "ice shave." In contrast, a snow cone, a similar American dessert, is made with crushed ice rather than shaved ice.

It's true that coconut contains a healthier type of saturated fat, but it's still not doing you any major health favors. Both frozen yogurt and coconut milk ice cream are packed with added sugar, so portion control is key when you feel like treating yourself.

What is ice magic made of? ›

2 Ingredients Only!

My Homemade Ice Magic recipe, if you can even call it a “recipe” is simply chocolate and coconut oil. That's it! Hell if you don't have coconut oil on hand you could use any vegetable oil you have, but I must say I do really like the flavour coconut oil gives to it.

Coconut cream tends to yield creamier results due to the higher fat content.

The cream that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk is also considered coconut cream. Coconut cream can sometimes be used similarly to coconut milk, though it makes for a much more powerful coconut flavor. Cream of coconut is a sweetened version of coconut cream, and is often used for desserts and mixed drinks.

Chilling overnight is key or the coconut cream won't harden and will likely be too soft to whip. Before whipping, chill a large mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes! If your coconut whipped cream is too stiff when whipping, add some of the reserved liquid from the can to help it blend smoother and create more air!

I'd experienced this issue when I thinned my icing with too much water for flooding. The good news on that front is that if you noticed that you'd done it before you start icing a cookie, you can stir in some sifted powdered sugar (or some reserved piping consistency icing if you want some) and recover.

If your ice cream mixture is tepid, or not cool enough, a standard domestic ice cream machine will not be able to churn it. The removable freezer bowl will get warm before it has the chance to churn the ice cream, resulting in a sloppy liquid, instead of a fluffy ice cream.

Coconut oil freezes in the winter because it has a low melting point of approximately 24°C.
