Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pams roasted and salted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 2 cups Pams rice snaps
- ½ cup Pams desiccated coconut
- ½ cup Pams dried cranberries
- ½ cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup Pams glacé red cherries, roughly chopped
- 500g white chocolate, roughly chopped
Method
- In a large bowl combine pistachios, rice snaps, coconut, cranberries, apricots and cherries. Set aside a quarter cup of this mixture to sprinkle over the top of the slice.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on low for a minute. Stir and repeat until the chocolate has just melted.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the pistachio mixture and stir until well combined.
- Transfer to a lined square cake tin. Scatter the reserved pistachio mixture over the top and gently press into the surface of the slice.
- Cover and set aside in the fridge for at least two hours or until set firm. Once set, remove from the tin and use a sharp knife to cut into portions.
Top tip: For a gluten-free alternative, replace the rice snaps with half a cup of sunflower seeds and three-quarters of a cup of roughly chopped whole almonds.
- To cut the Christmas slice, remove from the fridge 5-10 minutes before you want to cut it, then use a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water and wiped clean.
