I would like to make my step mum some coconut ice to go with her mothers day present. I have found 2 recipes and would like to know what the differnce is -

The first one uses coconut, icing sugar and condensed milk

The second one (and the one i remember making as a kid) uses coconut, icing sugar, copha, egg whites and vanilla

My question is - will the one with the condensed milk be softer than the one with the copha?? Will it taste much different?

Also i really want to make the 2nd one (cause i know it will work lol) but it has egg whites in it - does that mean that i cant eat it because i am pregnant?? If so i will have to make the other one.

Also if you have any of yur own recipes for coconut ice i would appreciate it - and so would my step mum!
TIA
