Delicious Tropical Recipes
No bridal shower is complete without some delicious treats, and a tropical-themed event calls for flavors that are as vibrant as your décor. One easy and delightful recipe to include is Hibiscus Coconut Squares. These sweet bites are a blend of coconut and hibiscus, offering a taste of the tropics in every square.
Hibiscus Coconut Squares Recipe:
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference)
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: Pink food coloring (for a vibrant color)
- Instructions:
- Prepare the Hibiscus Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the dried hibiscus flowers and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Strain the hibiscus syrup to remove the flowers and set the syrup aside to cool. (Optional: Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the syrup for a more vibrant color.)
- Mix the Coconut Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Add Hibiscus Syrup: Pour the cooled hibiscus syrup into the coconut mixture, stirring until the coconut is evenly coated and turns a light pink hue.
- Form the Squares: Line a square baking dish (8×8 inches) with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture firmly into the dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread and packed tightly.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the coconut mixture is firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator and lift the coconut mixture out using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares.
- Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, garnish each square with a small hibiscus flower or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
