TIP OF THE DAY: Coloring Coconut
![]() It’s easy to color coconut to make desserts |
It’s easy to tint coconut for Easter cakes/cupcakes or any other holiday.
1. Place shredded or flaked coconut in a large resealable plastic bag. 2. Squeeze food color into the coconut: 5 to 6 drops per 1 cup of coconut. 3. Shake until color is evenly distributed. If not using immediately, spread in a shallow pan to dry and store in an airtight container. You can use the coconut in other dishes as well. For a spring or Easter salad, toss fresh fruit (apples, bananas, mangos, pineapple) or dried fruit (blueberries, cherries, raisins, sultanas) with your greens. Halved pecans are a nice touch as well. Garnish by sprinkling with flaked or shaved coconut—colored or white.
