    No special equipment

    Got two large bowls? Then you've got everything you need to make this delicious treat! A couple of spatulas come in handy too and you need either a silicone square pan or baking paper to line any other type.

    How can I make this coconut ice dairy free

    Did you know you can get coconut condensed milk? It has a deliciously sweet coconut flavour and is the perfect substitute in this dessert as it already contains coconut! So the coconut condensed milk just enhances the already delicious coconut flavour.

    Making this with the kids

    There is literally nothing simpler that you could make with the kids! It's a divide, mix set dessert, no heating required at all! Put one kid in charge of each layer if you've got two and away you go! So many of our festive desserts are perfect for making with kids like these No bake mini cheesecakes, perfect for sharing, this yummy white Christmas and this amazingly delicious rocky road!

    Raspberry powder? Say what?

    Yep! It's entirely freeze dried raspberries. Perfect for helping out a farmer who doesn't get to send all the fruit to market. It's turned into a powder and stores in the fridge. I use it in anything that requires food colouring. It also comes in strawberry plus they make an awesome little fruit crunch that is literally the best thing ever! If you don't have it- swap for red food colouring.
