To being with first add dessicated coconut and icing sugar.

Mix this well first.

Add condensed milk to it.

Add rose essence to it. However this is optional if you prefer you can leave it as such or add vanilla essence.

After that, mix well to form a sticky dough.

Divide it into 2 halves. Keep one half in a seperate bowl.

To another half add beetroot juice for pink color.You can even add pink food color if you want.

Mix well so that the pink color is even. Coconut ice will be more appealing when the color is uniform.

Lay butter paper on a square tin or tray. Now both the white and pink mixtures are ready.

Then add white mixture to it. Spread and press it tight as shown below.

After that add pink layer, spread it and press tight. However it will stick together when set in fridge but still press tight.
