It always says coconut is optional but it never says how much if you want it -
You say 'melt marshmallows in milk; do you heat the entire can of condensed milk in order to do this? TY

Icebox (no bake) fruitcake is the only kind of fruitcake I like. This recipe is great! I used half the amount of raisins called for, and added about 1 cup of coconut. I didn't bother plumping the raisins, as I didn't see the need. The dough is sticky to work with, but after pressing it in a loaf pan and chilling it, it's not as bad. I lined my loaf pan with parchment paper so I could remove the cake easier.
