Nice treat for your sweet tooth. Mine didn't set up completely either, but it still tasted good. Made for October 2010 Think Pink Tag.

Although this is quite a delicious confection, I found that it did not set properly. I followed the directions as given. Perhaps it needed to sit for longer. I was not going to waste the batch so I spread the coconut ice mixture on to milk coffee biscuits and they were great.

Very yummy! I made these for a Christmas function and part of some Christmas gifts. I think there may be a mistake with the recipe because I didn't think 1/4 cup coconut was enough for 4 3/4 cup of icing sugar, so I used 4 1/4 cups of coconut and it seem to mix together. Once I figured this out it was so easy to prepare. Everyone at the Christmas party really enjoyed these, there was none left on the plate. Thank you for posting Perfect Pixie
