Ingredients

250 grams copha
1 cup powdered milk (110 grams)
1 cup icing sugar (130 grams)
¾ cup mixed fruit (115 grams)
¼ cup glace cherries, halved (45 grams)
1 cup rice bubbles (35 grams)
1 cup desiccated coconut (85 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Lightly grease a slice tin (approx 28 x 18cm) and line with baking paper, leaving paper overhanging at sides to assist with removal of slice later.
Add powdered milk, icing sugar, mixed fruit, glace cherries, rice bubbles and ¾ cup of the coconut (retaining remaining ¼ cup) to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle vanilla extract over the mixture.
Melt copha over low heat until completely melted. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Press mixture into slice tin and sprinkle top with remaining coconut. Place into fridge to set for at least one hour.
Remove from fridge and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
Store in the fridge.

Notes

Which icing sugar?

You'll find two types of icing sugar available in the baking aisle at the supermarket. Soft icing mixture is icing sugar blended with a little cornflour. The cornflour stops lumps forming. This is generally what I use to make White Christmas. Pure icing sugar has nothing added, which means it can become lumpy and requires sifting before using. You can also use pure icing sugar in this recipe (just remember to sift it).
