No-Bake White Chocolate Cranberry Bark Delight
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chopped pistachios (shelled and unsalted)
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring the sides overhang slightly for easy removal later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula to create a smooth layer.
- Evenly sprinkle the dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, and shredded coconut over the melted chocolate. Lightly press them in with your hands to ensure they stick.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt over the top for a delightful salty-sweet contrast.
- Refrigerate the chocolate bark for about 1-2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
- Once set, gently lift the bark out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper overhang and break it into pieces of your preferred size.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the bark on a festive plate or in a decorative tin for gift-giving. Consider drizzling some extra melted white chocolate on top for an elegant finish.
