This Australian White Christmas Slice recipe is like a white chocolate rocky road and a really easy, yet impressive dessert. Perfect for Christmas Day, or as I am making it, for end of year teacher’s gifts.
White Christmas Slice
This is a really easy yet impressive Christmas slice, which always brings back memories of Christmas Day to me.
It’s really impressive, yet super easy to make. The hardest part is melting the chocolate and not getting a tummy ache from picking at all the ingredients as you make it. You can easily mix and match the dried fruit and nuts to your favourites. I try and include as many Christmassy flavours as possible, cherries and pistachios always remind me of Christmas.
Step 1
Combine most of the dry ingredients in a large bowl, just leave out the cherries and mango.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. (Chocolate in a bowl sitting on top of a saucepan with simmering water) then pour into bowl.
Step 3
Mix to combine, then add the cherries and mango and stir these through. Press down into tray and set in the fridge.
