Re: Colouring Dessicated coconut

I would try and use a liquid food colouring, they are inexpensive, and available at most major stores. I get mine from Asda. A tip: always start with the smallest amount of colouring, 1/4 of a tea spoon, if that doesn't achieve the depth of colour you are after, then add another 1/4, and so on. Shouldn't make your coconut too wet, as long as you don't put too much in.Good luck.

I have coloured caster sugar in the past by putting it in a bag and adding food colouring (I used Wilton gel colours) then mixing it all up. Worked really well smile
