The Ultimate Christmas Rocky Road
This easy Mince Pie Rocky Road is packed with mini fruit mince pies, red liquorice, fluffy marshmallows and Terry's Chocolate Orange, all coated in creamy milk chocolate. It's the ultimate festive treat and makes a gorgeous homemade Christmas gift! No baking required, and you can easily customise the fillings to suit your tastes.
Ingredients
- 9 mini fruit mince pies I bought a packet of 9 mini pies but you use 4 or 5 larger ones
- 150 g red licorice
- 75 g white mini marshmallows*
- 1 Terry’s chocolate orange
- 500 g good quality milk chocolate
Instructions
- Roughly chop the mince pies, red licorice and Terry’s chocolate orange. Add into a large mixing bowl along with the mini marshmallows. Stir to mix together.
- Roughly chop the milk chocolate and place approximately 3/4 into a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate over a bain-maire or in the microwave in short bursts, mixing regularly until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the remainder of the chocolate until melted. Allow to cool slightly, to around room temperature then pour into the mince pie mixture. Gently stir until well coated.
- Pour the mixture into a baking tin/dish lined with baking paper and use an offset spatular or the back of a spoon to evenly press it into the tin (I used a 23cm x 28cm tin)
- Ideally you’ll allow it set at room temperate but if you’re impatient like me you can pop it into the fridge to set then cut into pieces and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in between sheets of baking paper. I store mine in the fridge because it has been SO hot lately and I also love the texture of all the elements when it’s chilled.
Notes
* I literally sat and ate all the pink ones because personally I feel like the white ones look better in rocky road but you can totally use both the pink and white ones if you like!
