Coconut Ice recipe
information
Coconut ice was also a favorite because, like most homemade Jewish candies, it is kosher for Passover. Of course, there is no special reason to color half the coconut ice pink; use any color you like.

5. Pour half the mixture into the dampened jellyroll pan and then quickly stir a few drops of red coloring into the mixture remaining in the bowl.
