Tips & Tricks for Perfect Coconut Ice

✔ Use Finely Desiccated Coconut: It blends better and creates a smoother texture.
✔ Don’t Overuse Food Coloring: A little goes a long way—just a few drops will give a perfect pastel pink.
✔ Make It Festive: Use different colors for different occasions—red for Christmas, green for St. Patrick’s Day, etc.
✔ Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
