Mint Rocky Road
This Rocky Road is a no-bake dessert recipe that can be made in 30 minutes. The textural contrasts of fluffy marshmallows with crunchy biscuit, peppermint crème, dark chocolate and mint cracknel is a sensory delight!
Equipment
- Silicone tray 20cm x 20cm (optional)
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
- 200 g Mint Slice biscuits
- 175 g Peppermint Crisp
- 100 g baby marshmallows
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate – roughly chop and transfer to a shallow bowl. Either melt in short bursts in the microwave or in a bain marie (over a pan of simmering water). Allow it to cool slightly. We need it molten to stick the other ingredients together, but not so hot it melts the chocolate in the peppermint crisp and mint slices.200 g dark chocolate
- Mint Slice, Peppermint Crisp & Marshmallows – add to a large bowl. Chop each Mint Slice into eight ‘pie slices’. Cut the Peppermint Crisps in half along their length, then into small sections about 1cm wide. It will shatter and get a bit messy; it’s all fine! Tip in the marshmallows. Toss everything together lightly with your hands.200 g Mint Slice biscuits175 g Peppermint Crisp100 g baby marshmallows
- Combine - pour the melted chocolate over the bits. Combine well using a flexible spatula so that the chocolate glues everything together. There should be no powdery bits left at the bottom of the bowl. You'll need to work quite fast, before the chocolate cools and hardens too much.
- Chill & Portion – tip rubble out into a silicone tray or lined tray, using a fork to spread out if required. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Turn out and cut into chunks to serve.
Notes
Make more
So easy to multiply. consider your pan size when deciding how deep you want your Rocky Road chunks to be.
Make ahead
This is best eaten fresh but will keep for up to a week in a well-sealed container. Keep refrigerated if the chocolate would melt otherwise. It’s even good straight from the freezer
Variations
Endless! The only common factor needs to be enough melted chocolate to stick all the rocky bits together. Marshmallows are good for some chew factor. The options are limitless. Nuts, dried fruit, pretzels, honeycomb, Maltesers, licorice, fudge, jelly babies….
