Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place coconut into a ziploc and add a few drops of food coloring. You want to use a different ziploc bag for each color that you are making.
  • Close the bag well after your food coloring and coconut are in the bag. You want to make sure that you are closing the bag tightly.
  • I have learned the hard way what happens when you think you have zipped the bag all the way, and it isn't. It is a HUGE mess to clean up when dyed coconut goes flying across the kitchen.
  • Mix it up, then add food coloring a few drops at a time and mix well until you have the desired color you want for your coconut.
  • Pour colored coconut on a baking sheet and let it dry for a few minutes. Use as you would normally use your coconut in your desserts.
