This melt and mix White Christmas Slice recipe is just like the one you grew up with!
If you are looking for a classic Australian Christmas recipe, you cannot go past this White Christmas Slice. It was a regular on Christmas party tables when I was growing up, and just quietly it was one of the few recipes I would eat that had dried fruit in it!
This is such a quick recipe to put together, the longest part is melting the copha which is what holds this slice together. I usually melt copha in a saucepan on the stove, however you can also melt in the microwave, just make sure you use a microwave safe bowl.
Along with being simple to make, another great feature of this recipe is that you don’t need many ingredients to put it together. You can also add a yummy twist by adding slivered almonds or pistachios to the mixture and for something truly decadent, you can also drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top.
