White Christmas Recipe

A White Christmas recipe is an Australian holiday classic. It’s easy to make and a delicious kid’s treat. It keeps really well, making it a tasty dessert to make in advance for when guest pop over.

Kellogg’s does a great job in recipe development. Every country has their own Kellogg’s recipe favourites (sometimes you don’t even realize it).  Alongside White Christmas Slice, you might recognize other Kellogg’s favourites like Caramel Rice Krispies Squares, or Honey Joys made from Corn Flakes.

White Christmas with Coconut Oil

A few unique ingredients in a White Christmas recipe. Copha is a vegetable shortening, made from hydrogenated Coconut Oil. I have only seen Copha sold in Australia, maybe New Zealand too. Sometimes I use Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Aldi instead, as I try to stay away from hydrogenated foods. If you use Coconut Oil, the White Christmas Slice will need to be refrigerated until serving. If the temperature is near 24 °C (76 °F), it tends to fall apart. When we lived in Canada, my wife used Crisco which worked really well.

White Christmas recipe is incredibly easy to make, very festive in name and colourful for the Christmas holidays. This is our version of a White Christmas in hot sunny Australia. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!
