Chocolate Christmas stars with nuts and cranberries
- 300 grams white chocolate packs, broken into chunks
- 75 millilitres double cream
- 50 grams pistachio nuts shelled, roughly chopped
- 50 grams almonds flaked
- 100 grams cranberries, dried pack
- Line a 20 x 30cm airtight container/ metal tin with baking parchment, leaving some overhanging the edges, which will act as a handle later on.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil over a high heat.
- Place the chocolate and cream in a large bowl.
- Remove the pan from the heat and place the bowl over the pan, making sure that it does not touch the water.
- Leave to stand for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate mixture has completely melted.
- With the bowl still over the pan of water, stir the pistachios, almonds and cranberries into the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly to coat.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared container or tin and level the surface with the back of the spoon.
- Cover with cling film and place in the fridge.
- Leave for 1 hour or until completely set.
- Remove the set chocolate from the container using the overhanging parchment 'handle' and place on a board.
- Use a metal star cutter (about 5cm across) to stamp out 12 shapes.
- Keep in the fridge until ready to eat.
