Ingredients

  • 14 oz. (400g) white chocolate bar/block, broken into squares
  • 1/3 cup desiccated coconut plus extra for topping
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries plus extra for topping
  • 1/3 cup pistachios, no shells
  • 1/3 cup whole macadamias, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (100g/3.5 oz.) large white marshmallows, cut in half

Instructions

  • Line Tin: Line a 9-inch x 5-inch (23cm x 13cm) rectangle loaf baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring that it extends over the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
  • Prepare Marshmallows: If using large or jumbo marshmallows, cut them in half and set aside.
  • Prepare Double Boiler: Set up a double boiler with simmering water in the saucepan below with a heat-proof bowl sitting on top.
  • Melt Chocolate: Add the white chocolate to the bowl and slowly melt over low-medium heat, stirring until smooth, then turn off the heat.
  • Combine Ingredients: Stir in the coconut, cranberries, pistachios, chopped macadamias, and marshmallows into the melted chocolate until well combined.
  • Set Rocky Road: Transfer the mixture into the lined pan, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until set.
  • Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the rocky road out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Place on a cutting board and slice into squares with a sharp knife.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: In an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
 
  • Freeze: Place rocky road slices in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking, or wrap the entire block in a double layer of cling film and in then in a layer of foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
 
  • Thaw: In the refrigerator overnight, keeping it wrapped and in the container. For a quicker option, leave it on the kitchen counter at room temperature while still wrapped for several hours until soft enough to eat.
