Ingredients

5 total
  • 4 ice-cream cones
  • 1 cup of skittles (red and green)
  • 250 g of icing sugar
  • 1 dr oetker extra strong green food colouring gel (we used most of the tube)
  • 2 tbsp of desiccated coconut

Method

3 steps

  1. Step 1

    Measure out 2tbsp cold water. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, then stir in the food colouring along with enough of the water to make a stiff icing paste. (Don’t make the icing too runny or you won’t be able to create a nice texture.)

  2. Step 2

    Turn the ice-cream cones upside down and dip the open end in the green icing, then flip over and stick onto a festive plate or platter.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the green icing all over the cones, using a small palette knife to rough up the surface a little and give the impression of branches. Stick the Skittles into the icing and sprinkle the coconut over the trees and onto the plate like a dusting of snow. Leave to set for 2 hrs before putting on display; discard after 1 week.
