I am after something different I can bake or make and present in a gift basket as gifts this Christmas. Any ideas ... I have the regular shortbread, rocky road type of ideas but am after something different! Many thanks!!!

Coconut Ice: 340g desiccated coconut 340g icing sugar 400g tin of condensed milk Optional food colouring Cooking Directions For Coconut Ice: 1. Place the condensed milk into a bowl and add the icing sugar. Beat well then mix in the desiccated coconut. The mixture will get firm and difficult to stir but persevere until everything is all combined. Maw Broon from the Sunday Post has published a cookbook full of her favourite Scottish and family recipes. Read More About It! 2. Divide the mixture into two (add optional food colourings to each) and spread into an 8inch square tin giving two coloured layers and allow to set overnight (time for a wee dram!) 3. Cut into small cubes and spread on a sheet of greaseproof paper to dry slightly.
