Ingredients
To make this no-bake cranberry slice, you need the following ingredients:
- Cranberry - Dried cranberries provide a burst of flavor and a chewy texture. Their tartness balances the sweetness of the other ingredients, making each bite exciting and delicious.
- Chocolate - I use caramelized white chocolate to deepen the flavor, adding notes of toffee and butterscotch.
- Butter - I prefer butter with salt as it balances out the extra sweetness of condensed milk. It adds a rich, creamy texture and enhances the overall flavor. Butter helps to hold the ingredients together and provides a smooth consistency that melts in your mouth.
- Condensed milk - Thick, sweet, and creamy, condensed milk binds the ingredients together and adds a luxurious texture.
- Oreo - Crushed Oreo cookies make a base for the slice. These add a delightful crunch and an extra layer of flavor. Their chocolatey goodness contrasts beautifully with the tart cranberries and the sweet caramelized white chocolate, creating a mouth-watering treat.
- Pumpkin seeds- Optional - These seeds add a nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch to the dessert.

How to make white chocolate cranberry slice?
Step-1 Prepare the base
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, or using a food processor.
- Combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and condensed milk in a lined dish. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a dish to form an even base. Refrigerate it to set while you prepare the filling.
Step-2 Make the filling
- In a microwave-safe bowl melt the caramelized white chocolate with butter and condensed milk. Gently, stir the mixture to melt the chocolate. You will get a thick grainy mixture.
- Add the dried cranberries to the chocolate mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Step-3 Assemble the slice
- Pour the chocolate and cranberry mixture over the Oreo base in the dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula and press it with the back of a spoon.
- Top up with pumpkin seeds. Again gently press the mixture with a spatula to set the seeds.
- Refrigerate the cranberry and white chocolate slice for at least 2 hours, until the mixture is firm and set.
Step-4 Serve
- Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into slices or squares.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your caramelised white chocolate cranberry slice!
Storage
This chocolate-flavored cranberry slice can be stored for up to 3-4 weeks in the fridge.
Tips
- Allow plenty of time for the slice to set in the refrigerator. A minimum of 2 hours is recommended but overnight is even better for a firmer texture.
- When pressing the Oreo crumb base into the dish/tray, use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down evenly. This ensures a uniform thickness and helps the base hold together well.
- For a festive touch (Holiday presentation), sprinkle the slices with powdered sugar or edible glitter, making them perfect for holiday gatherings.
- Pumpkin seeds are optional you can avoid them or swap them with nuts if you don't like them.
- If you feel like all the berries are hiding in the base, add a few more on top of the slice before refrigerating. This ensures a balanced distribution of cranberries throughout the slices.
