Coconut Ice Without Cooking
Dear Aunt Daisy, I’ve just been listening to your session, and your listener’s recipe for mock cream. I have one here I think you should like, as it is very simple and easy to make: Two ounces of butter, 4 oz. of icing sugar; and 2 teaspoons vanilla essence. Beat all together until you have a smooth creamy mixture, and easy to spread. I alsé have a coconut ice I think you would like, as you do not have to do any cooking with it. There is only hot melted butter. It is about the nicest recipe for coconut ice I have ever come across. Here it is: Quarter of a pound of melted butter; 1 Ib. of sifted icing sugar; 2 egg whites; 44 Ib. desiccated coconut (fine); % teaspoon vanilla essence. Mix the sugar, coconut, egg whites and vanilla together. Stir in the hot but not boiling butter, and mix well. Line a cake tin with greaseproof paper, and spread one third of the mixture. Colour half the remainder pink, and spread over the white layer. Mix a teaspoon of cocoa with the remainder, and spread this over the pink layer. Stand in a cool place to set. I hope you will find this up to your usual standard, Aunt Daisy. I love listening to your session, and wish you further successes. — Aussie" (Christchurch), That is a very easy one, Aussie, thank you. Coconut is scarce at present, but one can get a little; and we shall keep the recipe.
