INGREDIENTS

white chocolate melts, 3 x 360g packets
macadamia nuts, 800g packet, coarsely chopped
silver cachous, to decorate
METHOD

  1. Draw an 18cm diameter star on baking paper. Draw 11 more stars on baking paper, reducing the size by 1-2cm each time. Arrange
    star templates on baking trays, with pencil marks facing down.

  2. Reserve half cup chocolate melts. Place remaining chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50%) power, for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Add nuts, stirring to coat.

  3. Spread enough chocolate mixture over paper templates to make thick stars. Sprinkle with silver cachous. Place in fridge 1 hour until set.

  4. Peeling off baking paper as you go, place largest star on serving platter or board. Melt reserved chocolate. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of chocolate in centre of star and top with second largest star. Repeat, in order of size, until the smallest star is on the top.

  5. Place in the fridge 1 hour until firm. Sprinkle tree and platter with coconut to resemble snow. Place Christmas tree in the centre of the table for everyone to share.


TOP TIP
  • You could use different coloured cachous or other edible decorations of choice
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to sit around the table. On hot days the tree will soften if it’s left out for too long.
