This is a soft and chewy coconut candy that is very easy to make. This is different from the hard coconut candy with bright coloring (from Malaysia). Instead of making it tricolored, you can shape each color into a ball (wear plastic glove) and serve it individually. I think it would help in tasting the different flavors of the candies. I found that when combining the three, I couldn't taste the individual flavor as the rose paste seem to be over powering the rest of the flavors.
When I flipped through my friend's recipe cards the other day, I saw a recipe that was very similar to this and it is called Coconut Ice, it is a traditional English candy that required no baking too. You can read more about it here.
