Raw Chocolate Rocky Road
This "healthy" rocky road is such a winner for a gift or snack in the festive season!
Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Tray
- Fridge
- Baking paper
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped roughly
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/2 cup quinoa puffs
- 1/2 cup marshmallows cut into quarters with scissors (or use mini marshmallows)
- Pinch of dried rosemary (or 1 sprig of fresh, chopped)
- 3/4 cup cacao powder
- 3/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 5 tablespoons of maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat a frying pan to medium and toast your walnuts till they are lightly browned.
- Add the coconut flakes and toast till they’re also lightly browned (be careful, this happens quick!), then add the rosemary. When its all fragrant and toasty, pop onto a plate and put aside to cool.
- Combine your melted coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao powder in a large heat proof bowl. Stir until there are no lumps from the powder left.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir well until everything is well coated in chocolate.
- Pour into a baking paper lined container/tin and pop in the fridge for 45 mins to set.
- Remove the block from the container then cut into bite sized chunks with a large knife. Store in an air-tight glass container in the fridge to enjoy/gift as you like.
Notes
You can really add anything into the rocky road, I just love this combo!
If your liquid chocolate mixture starts to harden before you place all of your ingredients in, pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to liquify.
Note: recommend storing this in the fridge as the coconut oil base will melt on a hot day.
