About White Christmas Slice

White Christmas Slice is one easy no-cook dessert that I like to make during cold months. It is originally a festive recipe but really you can make it anytime. The mix of coconut, milk powder and sugar gives it a rich creamy flavor and rice krispies gives nice light crunch. I have used tutti frutti and cranberry which makes it look bright.

Butter and coconut oil helps everything bind together and gives smooth glossy texture without using stove for long. It also sets firm once chilled. Coconut and milk powder gives nice creamy texture while rice krispies and dry fruits add tiny crunch in between. You can easily make it one day before and keep in fridge till serving.

Sometimes I even try small variations - you can try any dry fruits you have in hand. Once I made it with condensed milk instead of butter and it turned so rich. It tastes even better when slightly cold. This slice is such a savior when I need something fast. This recipe is a must try.

White Christmas Slice is a no cook wonder commonly made during Christmas and simple & quick to make. I usually make it when relatives visit suddenly or for quick snack box treat. It never fails, and it looks so pretty that everyone thinks it took long time to make.

Expert Tips

• Use fine coconut - I have used fine desiccated coconut, coarse one will make slice crumbly so avoid that.
• Melt butter slowly - Heat butter only till it melts, not till it browns. It should mix smoothly with coconut oil.
• Mix everything gently - I used spatula to mix the ingredients. Do not press too much else the mixture turns sticky.
• Press and shape neatly - After transferring to tray, I press it well using flat bowl so slice sets firm and even.
• Keep refrigerated - Always chill for 30 minutes or more before cutting. It helps slice set properly and hold its shape.
