Raspberry Coconut Ice...

Have you ever wondered
how to make your very own

Raspberry Coconut Ice?

Well, here's your lucky coconut day!

This is a really lovely recipe that
I came across on

And I love that the fact
this tastes so
delicious!


(Note: I had to make some minor adjustments
to the ingredients as I did not have some at hand)

  • 320g/2 cups icing sugar mixture, sifted

  • 315g/3.5 cups desiccated coconut

  • 395g can condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • a few drops pink colouring

  • 4 tablespoons raspberry sauce or raspberry puree (Optional, as I didnt have any)

  • A few drops raspberry extract (Optional, as I didnt have any)


  • 1. Lightly grease a square cake pan (I find that this is best using a smaller pan) and line base and sides with baking paper. Divide icing sugar between two bowls and then stir half of the coconut into each. Make a well in the centre.

    2. Divide the condensed milk and vanilla in two parts. Place one half into one of the bowls and combine to coat the coconut. Press the white coconut mixture into the prepared pan and smooth over with some baking parchment.

    3. Add the raspberry extract, pink colouring and raspberry puree to the other half of the condensed milk and vanilla mixture to the other coconut mixture and stir until the colour is well combined. I would hold back a few tablespoons of the milk mixture as you don’t want the coconut to be too wet. If it is too hard to stir this use clean hands. Spread this over the white layer and smooth on top with baking parchment. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

    4. Once set, carefully remove it from the tin using the baking parchment and cut into squares or rectangles. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

    Enjoy!

    Playing around...

    Lately, I have been playing around
    with my mobile phone
    and seeing what the type of
    quality photographs
    I can take with it.

    As always,
    I need a model.
    And Bells is more than happy
    to pose.

    As you might be aware
    I always take photos of Bells
    unawarely.
    (Is that a word - unawarely?)

     
    She looks stunned and kind of surprised here


     
    Here's a cheeky grin of her

    Lionsgate Buys Summit for $412.5 M & Twilight saga may continue after fifth film...


    "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" may not be the end of Bella, Edward and Jacob's on-screen journey, according to the head of the franchise's new Hollywood home.

    The chief executive of Lions Gate Entertainment, which on Friday acquired "Twilight" film studio Summit Entertainment for $412.5 mil..., said he believes the film franchise will continue to have value to his company,even after the Nov. 16 release of the fifth movie completes the adaptation of author Stephenie Meyer's four books.

    "I'm anticipating 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' being $700 million-plus in worldwide box office," said Jon Feltheimer, predicting the next film would slightly outdo the $697 million global take of "Breaking Dawn Part 1."

    Asked whether the franchise would continue in some form for Lions Gate, he added, "It's hard for me to imagine a movie that does $700 million-plus doesn't have ongoing value. It's an amazing franchise that they have done a great job of maintaining with absolutely no deterioration. So the simple answer is 'Boy I hope so.'"

    One person close to the acquisition deal but not authorized to speak publicly suggested that because Lions Gate, unlike Summit, has a television production unit, it could adapt "Twilight" for the small screen.

    Asked whether there was a possibility of bringing "Twilight" to television, Feltheimer answered, "I would certainly hope so."

    Happy Saturday!...


    Happy New Year!

    Yes, a late reply, however better late than never.

    So, the sun is shining outside, though a very chilly breeze and the temperature here in England is 2 degrees, yikes!

    Any how, Bells has been busy sleeping.
    But I have promised her a big homemade treat
    that I had made.

    Let's see how she is, shall we...?

    "Morning Bells, how are you today?"

    *Squeak squeak*

    "Yes, yes very cold outside. But here's a treat to keep you warm." ...



    "Thanks! *squeak*" says Bells, with a big smile on her little face
