Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup macadamias
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 100 g copha melted
  • 2 tsp freeze-dried raspberry or strawberry powder see note
  • 1/4 cup macadamias (extra) crushed and roasted

Instructions
 

  • Line a 20x20cm lamington tin with baking paper, slightly overhanging on all sides.
  • Place the macadamias in the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb. 
  • Add the coconut, rice syrup, vanilla essence and melted copha and process until almost smooth. The mixture should have a little texture
  • Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls. Into one bowl, add the raspberry powder and stir to combine. 
  • Press the pink layer into the tin and refrigerate for 15 minutes, until firm. 
  • Press the white layer over the top of the pink layer, and sprinkle with the crushed and roasted macadamias, pressing in slightly. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, until set.
  • Cut evenly into squares and serve.

Notes

Freeze-dried raspberry or strawberry powder adds a lovely flavour to the coconut ice. If you do not have any, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of beetroot powder or a few drops of rosewater.
