Ingredients

2L vanilla ice-cream, softened

1 cup frozen raspberries

2/3 cup mixed nuts, toasted and chopped

150g dark chocolate, finely chopped

2 Tbsp craisins, finely chopped

Finely grated zest of 1 orange

1 tsp sea-salt flakes

1 cup white chocolate melts

24 Chocolate Ripple biscuits

36 mini red M&M’s

12 lolly spearmint leaves, halved horizontally

Method

Line a 20 x 30cm rectangle slice pan with plastic wrap. In a large bowl, combine ice cream, berries, nuts, chocolate, craisins, orange zest and salt, and gently fold together. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth top. Cover and freeze for 2-3 hours or overnight.

Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) in 15-second bursts, until smooth. Arrange 12 biscuits on a tray. Drizzle melted white chocolate on top of one biscuit (decorate one at a time, as the chocolate sets quickly). Using a small spoon, gently push on chocolate to form a pudding look. Press 3 red M&M’s and 2 green spearmint leaf halves into top to create holly. Set aside until firm. Repeat with remaining biscuits, chocolate and lollies.

Flip ice-cream onto a board and remove plastic wrap. Using a 7cm round cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds from slab (refreeze offcuts to use for snacks). Arrange rounds on top of undecorated biscuits and sandwich with decorated biscuits. Serve.
