Instructions
- Line a 23 x 23cm (9 x 9 inch) tin with baking paper
- Melt the dark chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of just-boiled water. Do not allow any water to touch the chocolate! (See Note 4.)
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan when the chocolate is fully melted.
- Place the biscuits in a plastic sandwich bag (or similar). Bash into small chunks using a rolling pin and add to the melted chocolate (you may need to transfer everything to a bigger bowl).
- Add the mini marshmallows, pistachio kernels, dried cranberries and half the orange zest to the bowl and stir everything together thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined tin. Spread the mixture out and then press down using the back of a large spoon or similar.
- Chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Melt the white chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of just-boiled water. Do not allow any water to touch the chocolate! (See Note 4.)
- Remove the Christmas Rocky Road from the fridge. Drizzle with the white chocolate and decorate with extra pistachios and cranberries, and the remaining orange zest.
- Return to the fridge for a further 30 minutes, then remove and cut into 16 squares.
Notes
- If you don’t like ginger biscuits, you can use digestive biscuits instead.
- Buy pistachio kernels (ready-shelled pistachios) as it will make your life much easier. (Otherwise you will have to take the pistachios out of their shells by hand!) If you prefer, you can use chopped pecans instead. If you need this to be nut free, omit the pistachios and increase the quantities of cranberries and ginger biscuits to 100g cranberries and 125g ginger biscuits.
- If you don’t like cranberries, you can use raisins instead.
- To melt the chocolate, first pour boiling water into a large saucepan, then sit a glass bowl over the saucepan so the bowl just touches the water on the base. Next, break the chocolate into pieces and place the pieces into the glass bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted. DO NOT ALLOW ANY WATER TO GET INTO THE CHOCOLATE! Otherwise it will go grainy and bad and you will have to start again. If your bowl fits tightly over the saucepan, this shouldn’t be a problem.
- Not suitable for freezing.
