Summer is here now where I live.
I don't know about you, but some nice "cooling ice" will go down very well ......don't get too excited though, as this will not cool you down but it will definitely melt in your mouth !
It was so hard taking pictures of these coconut ice cubes as they were all being eaten so fast, not by my hubby or kids, but by Jeena !
Yes... I admit to being a total glutton for these pretty little coconut ice treats that were so very tasty.... YOU have got to make these as you will love them too, they were so nice.
A traditional "Coconut ice recipe" uses different methods and ingredients than what I have used in this coconut ice recipe; traditionally milk or sweetened/condensed milk or egg whites is used.
I love traditional coconut ice but I adore my very own coconut ice recipe.
My coconut ice recipe is dairy free and has no added fat.
It is a delicious sweet treat that "melts in the mouth" and the combination of fruit and nuts taste great. I could not resist adding a "pinch of cardamon powder" to my coconut ice recipe. Using cardamon powder made this dish very tasty.
You do not need a thermometer or any fancy kitchen equipment to cook this easy coconut ice recipe.... So no excuses get that cooking apron on and try some of Jeenas delicious coconut ice recipe for yourself as YOU will love it too.

Beautiful! I've never seen anything like this! I bet the pistachios taste awesome with those other flavors!
jeena,
looks yummmy..Mouthwatering pics..:)
I've never seen anything quite like this. It's somewhat similar to shaved ice treats I grew up with from Chinese bakeries and shaved ice stands, but these look even more intense with the nuts and fruit. I like this idea. I've been making ice pops lately, and these look like something interesting to try along those lines.
That is a novel way of making coconut ice....Good one
What a wonderful combination of flavors!! And.... just the perfect cooler for the hot days that are upon us ;-)
Jeena:
You're killing me! I've never seen a coconut ice cube like that before. Wouldn't that be so good as dessert with your biryani? No wonder you couldn't keep your hands off them! Have you tried other flavors? I'm glad to see that summer has arrived in Maine. BTW, congrats on your blog award. So well deserved-your blog is amazing!

Hi Genie,
I am glad you loved my coconut ice recipe.
Keep logging on to jeenaskitchen.blogspot.com as I update almost daily with brand new food recipes.
I just made this this afternoon and it was delicious!!
I think I should have left mine a bit squidgier though as it is quite crumbly and very hard to cut without it falling apart.
An excuse to give it another go and not dry it out too much at the last stage!
Jeena,
I don't eat sugar. Will xylitol or other non-sugar sweetner work with this?
