As Christmas approach's I always think about making another batch of coconut ice, this may be because the weather heats up at this time of year and Coconut ice can be served chilled on a hot day, or it is the smell of coconut reminds me of many summer days covered in reef oil in a beach Either way a great simple slice to have in the recipe draw.
