How to Make Colored Coconut Flakes
- Add 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to a large, resealable plastic bag.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of water with 2-4 drops of food coloring (adjust amount for desired intensity). The more drops you use, the more vibrant the color will be. Gel food coloring produces a more intense and less watery result.
- Pour the food coloring mixture into the bag with the coconut.
- Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air.
- Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes, or until the coconut is evenly colored.
- Spread the colored coconut on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to dry completely. This helps prevent clumping and ensures vibrant color.
