Coconut Recipes

Coconut is one of my favourite flavours, whether it is toasted into a cake topping, stirred through a pudding, baked into a slice or used as creamy coconut milk in soups and curries. Start with the cakes and slices if you want something sweet, jump to the puddings for chilled desserts or head straight to the savoury section for soups, seafood and coconut rice. You can also browse my mango recipes and Thai recipes for more coconut-friendly ideas.

Easy Raspberry and Vanilla Coconut Ice Recipe - No Copha
Featured coconut recipe Easy Raspberry and Vanilla Coconut Ice Recipe - No Copha

I loved coconut ice because it was sweet and it had my favourite colour pink in it although I haven't eaten it in many years. When I came across a recipe for the coconut ice in the new Junior Masterchef cookbook I decided that it was the coconut ice recipe for me as it didn't contain copha but instead that deliriously delicious item called sweetened condensed milk. I wanted to give it a slight modern twist so I decided to make it a raspberry and vanilla coconut ice. It is a lovely flavour with the slightly tart raspberries against the jaw achingly sweet body. It is best refrigerated and served cold and I was pleasantly surprised when my memory of a very sweet treat came flooding back to me. It's a sweet with limits too, I think two pieces would do even the most hardened sugar addict. Unless you are busy reminiscing.
