3 c. powdered sugar
½ c. milk
2 T. butter
1/8 t. salt
¾ c. unsweetened dried coconut
red food coloring
Heat sugar, milk, butter, and salt in a saucepan, stirring till sugar dissolves. Then bring to the boil without stirring. Cook 5 minutes, till soft ball stage. Stir in coconut, cool in pan 10 minutes. Halve the mixture and color one half pink. Beat it till starts to thicken. Beat the white half, too. Put it in a buttered pan and then gently spread the pink half on top. Leave it to set. (If using sweetened coconut, use less sugar and expect stickier result.)
