In a large bowl, add 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence, and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir everything together to combine. It will turn into a thick mixture.
Add 3 1/2 cups of desiccated coconut to the mixture. Stir until well incorporated. You can also use your hands to make the process easier.
Divide the mixture in half and place in two different containers.
Add a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl, then mix until it becomes pink. It will be very thick. Use your hands to make the process easier.
Prepare a baking pan by greasing it with cooking spray then placing a parchment paper on top. Transfer the white mixture first and spread it with your hands. Press it as evenly as possible. You can use the bottom of a flat glass to push it down. Next, add the pink mixture and spread it evenly like with the white mixture.
Place it in the fridge for 2 hours. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!
