Rocky Road is one of the easiest treats to make. It is wonderful to have on hand during the festive season and also makes a very welcome homemade gift which will be popular amongst your friends and family.

Method:

  1. Line the baking tin with baking paper. Make sure the baking paper has good over hang so that you can easily pull the rocky road out of the tin once it sets. Set aside.
  2. Place the macadamia nuts, marshmallows, Turkish delight and pistachio nuts into a large bowl and stir to mix them up. Set aside.
  3. To melt the chocolate: Break the chocolate into small pieces and microwave on a low heat setting in 30 second bursts, stirring each time, until the chocolate is just melted. This can also be done in a pot over a very low heat, or over a double boiler (bain-marie). Make sure you stir the chocolate all the time until it has just melted.

    Pour the just melted chocolate into the bowl of nuts, marshmallows and Turkish delight, and using a large spoon, stir gently so that all the ingredients are coated well in chocolate. Pour the rocky road mixture into the baking tin and even it out around the tin using the spoon.

    Decorate the top while the chocolate is still soft by placing the extra pistachios all over, pressing them into the chocolate slightly. Repeat with the freeze dried raspberries. With the last 2-3 raspberries, I like to crush them with my fingers and sprinkle this all over the top. Lastly sprinkle with desiccated coconut (optional).

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set.

    Remove from the fridge and lift the set rocky road out of the tin onto a flat chopping surface. Using a large sharp knife, cut widthways into 6 even slices. These longer slices are great for gifts. Otherwise you can cut each of the slices into 3 or 4 serving size pieces.

    Store the rocky road covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Rocky road can also be frozen for up to a month.

Our team can vouch Katy’s rocky road is delicious. See below a list of other ingredients she suggests you can add to your rocky road:

  • Any nuts or even seeds (pumpkin or sunflower)
  • Dried fruits like cranberries, chopped apricots, figs, pears, peaches, mango
  • Biscuits like ginger nut biscuits, shortbread, amaretto, Oreo or any plain biscuit like Marie or Arrowroot
  • White Chocolate – either in chunks or even drizzled over the top
  • Grated zest of an orange
  • Pretzels
  • Any soft lolly
  • Glacé fruits like cherries

All the ingredients for the Christmas Rocky Road. I also sprinkled over some desiccated coconut (not pictured).
