Richo’s rocky road

Rocky road has to be the ultimate no-bake dessert. This recipe includes all the old favourites, but save it for the grown-ups only: there's a sneaky shot of rum in there, used to soak a handful of currants.

Ingredients

  • 30 ml rum
  • 1 tbsp currants
  • 500 g milk chocolate
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup golden syrup
  • ¼ cup cubed Turkish delight
  • 1 cup marshmallows, halved
  • ¼ cup pitted glacé cherries
  • 4 Graham crackers or plain digestive biscuits, crushed
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios
  • icing sugar, to dust
Soaking time: 12 hours

Chilling time: 2 hours

Instructions

  1. Pour rum over currants. Cover and soak for 12 hours.
  2. Line a square baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  3. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set over a pan of boiling water (be sure base of bowl doesn’t touch the water).  Stir chocolate constantly, until melted. Reduce heat to low and stir in butter and golden syrup.
  4. Combine Turkish delight, marshmallows, glacé cherries, crackers and rum-soaked currants in a bowl. Use a spatula to pour over chocolate and fold through ingredients until combined. Pour into prepared tray and press mixture down into the corners to ensure it sets in a square shape.
