Ingredients
1 box white cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 to 5 drops pink food coloring
1 cup whipped topping
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
6. In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and pink food coloring until evenly tinted.
7. Fold the whipped topping into the pink mixture until light and smooth.
8. Spread the pink topping evenly over the cooled cake.
9. Sprinkle the shredded coconut all over the top and gently press it into the topping.
10. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars and serving.
Notes
Use a soft pink shade for the prettiest finish by adding the food coloring one drop at a time.
Chill the bars fully before slicing so the topping stays neat and the bars cut cleanly.
Store the bars covered in the refrigerator for the best texture and freshness.
