Notes
We recommend using desiccated coconut for this recipe as shredded coconut will impact the consistency of the slice.
You can place this slice into the freezer for half an hour to help it set quickly.
For something extra special, you can drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top of this slice.
You may also wish to add almonds or pistachios to this White Christmas Slice.
It's important to let this slice set completely before cutting into pieces.
Once cut, this slice is best stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
