Description
This festive White Christmas Rocky Road is a delightful no-bake treat made with creamy white chocolate, crunchy pistachios, chewy marshmallows, sweet glacé cherries, and shredded coconut.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g / 1 lb white chocolate melts/discs (chips or block chopped)
- 2 tbsp grapeseed oil or other neutral flavoured oil
- 2 1/2 cups tightly packed regular size marshmallows, most cut in half
- 1 cup unsalted toasted pistachios
- 1 cup glacé cherries
- 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (or finely shredded, not flakes)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 20cm/8″ square pan with butter and line it with baking paper, allowing for an overhang to easily lift the rocky road out later.
- Set aside about 8 of the nicest glacé cherries. Finely chop 1 tablespoon of pistachios for topping.
- Place the white chocolate and grapeseed oil in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Stir the marshmallows, pistachios, glacé cherries, and desiccated coconut into the melted chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bang and shake the pan assertively to settle the mixture and create an even surface.
- Decorate the top with the reserved glacé cherries and sprinkle the chopped pistachios over them.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. Use the paper overhang to lift the rocky road out of the pan, then cut into desired-sized chunks for serving or gifting.
Notes
- Perfect for holiday gifting or indulging in a colorful, flavorful dessert.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
