White Christmas
This up-dated version of White Christmas is an easy one for kids to make (as long as you supervise the melting of the chocolate) and makes a terrific edible Christmas gift.
Don't forget to book the kids in to my Mini Chef Christmas cooking classes where we'll be making plenty more like this.
- Prep Time : 30 minutes
- Cook Time : 3 -4 minutes
Ingredients
- white chocolate - 200g, broken into pieces
- Copha (or Crisco) - 50g
- mini marshmallows - 100g
- desiccated coconut - 50g, lightly toasted
- Turkish Delight - 200g, coarsely chopped
- rice bubbles - 1 cup
- blanched almonds or macadamias - 150g, toasted and chopped (optional)
Instructions
Place the white chocolate and Copha in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted.
Remove from heat and stir through remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture into mini muffins tins lined with paper cases or into a small cake tin (12cm – 15cm) lined with non-stick baking paper. Refrigerate until firm. Decorate with mixed cachous.
Package in pretty boxes or in cellophane bags tied with a ribbon.
Tip: to make Christmas trees, cut 20cm diameter circles from baking paper, then cut each in half. Roll each half into a tight cone. Use sticky tape to hold shape. Carefully spoon in the white Christmas mixture, putting a red or green glace cherry in the tip of the cone before you begin. Place each cone in a small glass and refrigerate until set.
I hold my classes in my home in a beautiful setting which spills out into the garden where the children and I have fun looking at and identifying the various herbs and vegetable I grow, weather
