White Christmas

A White Christmas is something that I dream about being able to experience one day. But for now, I will have to make do with our Aussie Summer Christmas, and some White Christmas for dessert!

I love making White Christmas. Not only is it a simple and easy recipe, but it looks beautiful  and tastes delicious.

This year I used the White Christmas recipe from Taste magazine, (taste.com.au) and I also added my own little variation in it. I plan to serve White Christmas this Christmas Eve, where I am aiming to have a traditional dessert table for my immediate family.

Another idea I love is to put a few White Christmas squares inside a jar and embellish with ribbon. Take a look at Sharnel's blog for more inspiration!
