Sift together the Icing Sugar and Cream of Tarter – add the Coconut and mix well
Add the Condensed Milk – the mixture will be very stiff (I used a plastic sandwich bag over each hand, and mixed it all up with my hands – almost as if you are kneading)
Transfer 1/4 of the mixture to a separate bowl – add the Peppermint Essence and a drop or two of Green Food coloring to this and use the knead method again to mix it very well – keep aside
Add the Vanilla Essence to the remaining 3/4 of the Coconut mixture – use same method to mix
Transfer the same amount as in step 3 to a separate bowl and add a few drops of Pink Food Coloring to this – mix again until the color is right
Spray two 20 x 20 cm dishes ( 8 x 8 inch) with cooking spray.
Use half of the mixture and press into the bottom of your dish – do the same with the other half into the second dish
Press the Peppermint flavored Coconut on top of one of the dishes containing a white layer – even it out
Repeat step 7 with the Pink colored Coconut in the second dish
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and cut into cubes or whatever shape you prefer (deep Cookie cutters works very well!)
Notes
Do not use too much green food coloring as the Peppermint is green as well
