Tropical Coconut Ice Slice Kids Love in Bali, Indonesia

Step 1: Prepare the Base Layer

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and honey.

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into the tray, ensuring an even surface.

Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the base layer to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Middle Layer

In another mixing bowl, combine the grated fresh coconut, condensed milk, and pandan essence (if using).

Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.

Remove the tray with the base layer from the refrigerator and spread the middle layer mixture evenly over it using a spatula.

Return the tray to the refrigerator and chill for another 15 minutes to set.

Step 3: Create the Top Layer

In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with coconut sugar to achieve a light golden hue.

Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the middle layer.

Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently press the shredded coconut mixture to ensure it adheres.

Cover the tray with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the layers are completely firm.

Step 4: Slice and Serve

Once the layers are fully set, remove the tray from the refrigerator.

Carefully lift the coconut ice slice out of the tray using the parchment paper.

Use a sharp knife to cut the slice into even squares or rectangles.

Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavors with your family!
