As a coeliac, you tend to stick with the “simple” foods and the foods you know and there isn’t a lot of time or opportunity for snacking.
Luckily there are suppliers out there who can supply you with a nice snack. One of these is www.fabsnacks.com
They offer gluten-free snacks, but also other snacks for other allergies, such as lactose, wheat-free, yeast-free……
If you’d rather make your own snack, I can recommend this easy, no-cook recipe for that all-time favourite – COCONUT ICE it takes about 15 minutes to make, 4-5 hours to let set and then another 5 minutes to cut into pieces.
Ingredients
405 gr tin of Condensced Milk
300 gr desiccated coconut
300 gr Icing Sugar
2-3 drops of Red (scarlet) food colouring
greaseproof paper
How to make :
1. Line a square or rectangular dish with grease-proof (parchment) paper.
2. Mix all (except the food colouring) the ingredients together. Spread half of the mixture and spread out evenly into the base of the dish – use the back of a spoon to smooth out the mixture.
3. Add the food colouring to the remainder of the mixture and mixed thoroughly.
4. Spread the pink mixture over the top of the first layer and smooth out.
5. Leave overnight, or at least 4-5 hours. in a cool place before cutting into squares.
This coconut ice keeps well for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Enjoy!
For a simple gift idea, place some of the coconut ice in attractive containers or jars and attach a gift tag. You may also put some squares of clear cellophane and tie with colourful ribbon.
