Coconut Ice
Coconut Ice is a classic, no-bake English candy made with shredded coconut, condensed milk and powdered sugar. You'll need at least 10-12 hours to dry mixture out before you can cut and eat it, but it's well worth the wait! A great holiday treat and the perfect gift for anyone with a sweet tooth.
