Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. In a quart-sized ziploc bag, combine 2 tablespoons of water with the Moss Green food dye, mixing it well to dissolve the dye. Add 1 1/2 c. coconut, seal bag and shake and knead until coconut is uniformly colored. You may add more diluted dye as needed to achieve the color you want. Repeat this process with the Juniper Green.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread the Moss-colored coconut on half of the sheet and the Juniper-colored coconut on the other half. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until coconut feels nearly dry to the touch. You may want to also pulse the coconut in the food processor a few times if your coconut is not finely shredded. You want very small pieces, but not a meal or powder. Mix the two colors together and you’re ready to go.
  4. Keeps up to a month in an airtight container.
