White Christmas Chocolate Wreath
One of my absolute favorite recipes for the festive season is this White Christmas Slice – although spoiler alert, there is no baking involved! This year I took this humble festive favorite and took it a step further, and turned it into a showstopping centerpiece… I give you my White Christmas Chocolate Wreath!
Christmas baking is my jam. There is something special about baking for your people during the festive season. Whether it’s a work morning tea, a packed box of sweets for the night shift worker, a homemade gift, or simply a plate on the bench, there is always someone to bake for in the month of December.
Here’s what you need to get started…
- This White Christmas slice recipe. It’s the base for our wreath and oh-so-freaking-good! Full of glace fruit, pistachios, coconut, rice bubbles, and white chocolate, this recipe just screams the festive season.
- No stick Cooking spray. I am OBSESSED with good baking sprays specifically for bakeware. This stuff is the bomb when it comes to greasing bundt pans, but I use it for so much more and it never fails me.
- Ribbon. I used a 38mm satin green ribbon I had lying around.
- You can use either a non-stick cake tin with a removable base (a 22-24cm pan is perfect) or a round mold on a Silpat or baking paper. To create the center hole, I use a straight-sided whisky glass with an 8cm diameter.
- Dried edible flowers
How to make this edible chocolate wreath for the festive season
- Thoroughly spray with baking spray your no-stick cake tin and whisky glass. In the center of the ring tin, place the straight-sided glass in the middle, and (if needed) touch up any sections that have not been sprayed with baking spray.
- Make White Christmas slice according to the recipe up until (and including) step 4
- Place spoonfuls of the white Christmas mixture evenly in the DIY ring tin until all the mixture is used up.
- Place in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and gently remove both the glass and the cake ring.
- Place on a plate or cake stand and decorate with a ribbon bow. Scatter edible flowers on top!
Cooks Notes
You can use either a cake tin with a removable base (a 22-24cm pan is perfect) or a round mould on a Silpat or baking paper. + To create the inner center of the wreath I used a straight-sided whisky glass with a base about 8cm wide. Be sure to give everything a good spray with baking spray to ensure nothing sticks too much!
Holy moly, it’s stuck!
If your glass doesn’t release straight away, pour a little hot water in the glass and it normally releases in a minute or two. You only need a little water (not a lot) otherwise it can get super messy. With a bit of cloth, move the water around the glass, gently wiping (and warming up) the glass for a smooth release.
