I'd never actually had white christmas before I went vegan, so I have nothing to compare this too, but it was a pretty big hit at the work christmas morning tea. I think these tasted better after a day or two of refrigeration, it really seemed to meld the flavours. You could use any fruit that you like, I just used what I had in the pantry.
What you'll need:
2 cups rice bubbles
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
Half a block of copha (melted)
1/2 cup glace cherries (chopped)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup shredded coconut
A handful of sultanas
1/3 cup of icing sugar
1/2 block vegan white chocolate (optional)
Patty pans in a mini muffin tray
Place 3/4 cup of desiccated coconut in a food processor and process until it becomes powdery and crumbly (2 minutes or so). Melt copha in a saucepan and then add processed coconut and mix well.
In a large mixing bowl mix rice bubbles, dried fruit and nuts and icing sugar, stir in copha mixture. Place a few spoonfuls into the patty pans until all the mixture is used. Refrigerate until hard (at least an hour) and then serve, these will last for a few weeks in the fridge and like I said I think they're tastier after at least a day of refrigeration.
Once mine were hard I melted some white chocolate and piped it over the top and then refrigerated again until hard.
Enjoy Xx
