Copha is the Australian brand for Kremelta. These products are identical but in different packaging.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115g) glace cherries, chopped
- ⅔ cup (120g) mixed dried fruit
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
- 2 ½ cups (100g) Kellogg’s Rice Bubbles
- ⅔ cup (70g) powdered full cream milk
- ½ (50g) slivered almonds, toasted
- ½ cup (70g) icing sugar mixture, sifted
- ⅔ cup (55g) desiccated coconut
- 250g Kremelta, chopped
- 300ml thickened cream
- Freeze-dried strawberries, chopped to garnish
- Fresh berries and cherries to serve with the wreath
Method
- Lightly grease 2 x 24-hole mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
- Combine cherries, dried fruit, brandy and spice. Mix well.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add in the dried fruit mixture and stir to combine.
- Melt Kremelta in a saucepan over low heat. Cool slightly then pour onto dry mixture and combine well. Press 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture into each muffin hole. Flatten tops with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
- Remove White Christmas from tin and arrange onto a serving platter or board in the shape of a wreath.
- Just before serving, whip cream to stiff peaks and fill a piping bag fitted with a 2cm nozzle. Pipe onto the White Christmas and decorate with freeze dried strawberries and fresh slices of strawberries.
- Arrange fresh fruit around the wreath to garnish. Place into the centre of your Christmas table.
Tips: Substitute brandy with apple juice or a cooled brewed tea such as Earl Grey. Alternatively, melt Copha in the microwave on High in 30 second bursts. Puddings can be made 3-4 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, un-decorated. This recipe makes one large wreath or two smaller wreaths. Perfect centrepiece for your Christmas table. Decorate with other sweet treats such as candy canes, Christmas lollies and chocolates.
