White Christmas is a treat that many of us can remember from our
childhood. Sweet and tangy, it conjures up memories of being in Nanna’s kitchen,
where she didn’t mind the mess you made whilst “helping” her and licking the
spoon was mandatory!
The recipe for this iconic Australian slice, traditionally uses loads of
sugar, imitation cherries and Copha (which is a trans-fat made from hydrogenated
coconut oil with added preservatives).
We went looking for a delicious White Christmas recipe that was free from
those ingredients that aren’t kind to our bodies and we found just the right
one!
The lovely Bianca at www.wholefoodsimply.com has
kindly let us share her tasty recipe that uses easy-to-find ingredients and the
kids will love making too. Without refined sugar, preservatives, gluten or
dairy, this White Christmas has the sweetness of honey and coconut and the
tasty zing of goji berries.
It’s an easy treat to make as a gift, serve with coffee or even keep for
yourself! J Enjoy!
1 cup
desiccated coconut (most commercial brands contain a preservative so use an
organic brand such as Macro from Woolworths)
1 cup raw
cashews
1/2 teaspoon
concentrated natural vanilla extract
1
tablespoon honey
1/4 cup
goji berries
1/4 cup
pistachios
Place the
coconut and cashews into your blender or food processor and blend until the
mixture forms a smooth paste. Gently mix in the vanilla and honey until
combined. Add the berries and pistachios and pulse until chopped and combined.
Press the mixture into a silicon loaf tin and put it into the fridge for several
hours to set. Cut and enjoy!
