Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 500 g white chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 100 g pistachios (shelled and unsalted)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tin: Line a 17 cm x 27 cm baking tin with baking paper or grease-proof paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chopped white chocolate gently using a bain-marie or by placing a bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  3. Set Aside Decorations: Reserve a handful each of dried cranberries and pistachios to use as decorative toppings later.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Stir the remaining dried cranberries and pistachios into the melted white chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the chocolate mixture into the lined baking tin and spread it evenly across the surface.
  6. Decorate: Sprinkle the reserved cranberries and pistachios over the top for a beautiful finish.
  7. Chill to Set: Place the tin in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow the White Christmas to set firmly.
  8. Cut and Serve: Remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting to avoid cracking. Then cut into small pieces to serve or gift.
