Rocky Road

Berry delicious rocky road

Here’s another delicious treat from my second book, Everyday Delicious. I’ve adapted this recipe to make it plant-based – vegan lollies and marshmallow don’t contain gelatine. You can adjust the fillings to suit what you like, what you have on hand and what you’re allowed to eat – if you can’t find plant-based cookies at the supermarket, you can crush up some pretzels. The important thing is to get lots of different textures in there, so that every bite is amazing and exciting. Quick and very easy to make, this treat makes a lovely gift or it’s great just to have in the fridge when you need a little taste of sweetness. You can choose the percentage of cocoa you prefer in the chocolate.

Gluten-free – use gluten-free biscuits

Makes 1 regular slice tin
Prep time: 20 minutes plus setting time

Ingredients

500g good-quality dairy-free chocolate (50% cocoa solids +)
1/4 cup coconut oil
7 dairy & egg free biscuits, broken into pieces (or crush up pretzels)
1 cup whole roasted almonds (or other nuts)
½ cup real rose-flavoured Turkish delight, chopped (or use extra of another ingredient)
½ cup soft vegan fruit jellies
¾ cup desiccated or shredded coconut, plus extra for topping
1 ½ cups vegan marshmallows, halved (ensure they are gluten-free if necessary)
1 cup rice bubbles (optional)

Method

Line a slice tin with baking paper all the way up the sides.

Break the chocolate into rough pieces, and place along with the oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Leave until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

Add the biscuit/pretzel pieces, almonds, Turkish delight, jellies, coconut, marshmallows and rice bubbles to the chocolate and mix to combine. Scrape into the tin and press into an even layer. Sprinkle with extra coconut.

Cover with cling film and refrigerate until cold and set (about 30 minutes). When set, cut with a hot knife.

Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of weeks (that’s a hilarious joke – it’s not going to last that long!)

Tip: If you can find gorgeous, traditional, rose-flavoured Turkish delight, grab it — it’s gummy and utterly delicious! I get mine from my local fruit & veg shop, and some supermarkets have it.

    Love the picture of the dump truck with your brownie and Rocky road! Going to use this for my triplets 5th birthday in January as they all requested something different. (Still have to make a Spider-Man cake though lol)

    Can this rocky road recipe for storage be placed in jars as Christmas gifts! And if put in a jar ... How long could it last for?

    Hi Chelsea, I'm looking at making rocky road for Xmas gifts and I wondered what the butter does because lots of rocky road recipes don't seem to have it? Cheers, Alison.

      It just softens the chocolate a touch and adds creaminess :)

    My sister has chosen your amazing rocky road as one of her items on her candy bar at her wedding next weekend. I was wondering how far in advance could I make this, or am I able to freeze it as I need to make enough for over a hundred people.
    • Chelsea Winter February 5, 2016 at 9:20 pm Reply
      Yes, you can freeze it for 1-2 months :)

    Hi, where do you get real rose-flavored turkish delight from? Thanks :)

      I get mine from my local greengrocer! Or specialty store.

    Hi Chelsea What plain biscuits would you recommend using for your Rocky Road recipe?
    • Chelsea Winter December 1, 2016 at 1:09 am Reply
      Wine biscuits, digestives, arrowroot etc?
  16. Tisha Petersen April 10, 2017 at 7:48 am Reply
    Can't wait to try this! But just wondering if the biscuits go soft with the melted chocolate? Or are they still firm when it sets?
    • Chelsea Winter April 11, 2017 at 7:10 pm Reply
      They are still firm.
