Although White Christmas is an Australian tradition, I've actually never made it. My nan used to make it all the time, along with her rum balls but I didn't have her recipe. I found this one amongst all mum's old recipes that I had and did a test run of it a few weeks ago, and I must say that I am super impressed with this light and fluffy and very delicious Christmas dessert.
I think I had just forgotten how yummy White Christmas really is, and it looks so beautiful all set up on a serving dish too. It's not overly sweet and I like the additional crunch of the roasted almonds. It also makes a great 'bring a plate' alternative over the festive season.
If you're considering making it this Christmas, here's my version of White Christmas.
