Rocky Road Sauce Recipes

EASY ROCKY ROAD

Steps:

• Grease and line an 18cm square brownie tin with baking paper.
• Place 200g digestive biscuits in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin or just the side of your fist until they're broken into a mixture of everything between dust and 50p-sized lumps. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan melt 135g butter or margarine, 200g dark chocolate and 2-3 tbsp golden syrup over a gentle heat stirring constantly until there are no or almost no more lumps of chocolate visible, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool.
• Take the biscuits, 100g mini marshmallows and up to 100g of additional ingredients (dried fruit, nuts, popcorn, honeycomb), if you like, and stir into the chocolate mixture until everything is completely covered.
• Tip the mixture into the lined baking tin, and spread it out to the corners. Chill for at least 2 hrs then dust with icing sugar and cut into 12 fingers.

ROCKY ROAD BREAD PUDDING WITH MARSHMALLOW SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking pan.
• To make the bread pudding. Put the brioche in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk egg, yolks, and sugar until combined. Add milk, butter, brandy, and melted chocolate and whisk until combined. Pour mixture over cut brioche and let rest for 5 minutes. Add chopped chocolate, 1/4 of the marshmallows, and toasted pecans and stir gently to mix. Pour into buttered pan and cover aluminum foil. Put in a large roasting pan and place in oven. Pour hot water into the pan until pan is 1/2 full. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes more, or until an inserted toothpick or knife is removed clean.
• To make the marshmallow sauce. In a small pot, add 1/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, and add remaining marshmallows. Stir constantly until melted. To serve, cut a 1/2-inch square of bread pudding and garnish with some sauce. Serve immediately.

ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Spray the bottom of a standard 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• For the cookie base: Combine the butter, brown sugar, coffee if using, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Blend on low speed until combined then raise to medium speed and beat until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl and paddle clean and add the egg. Mix on low speed until combined then raise to medium speed for a few seconds. The mixture may look broken but that's okay. Add the flour and cocoa and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl as needed. Add the chocolate chips and nuts and mix on low speed until evenly distributed.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Moisten your fingers to press the dough evenly into the pan and up the sides. Smooth out the dough with a spoon if needed.
• Set the pie pan on the preheated baking sheet and bake until puffed and the outer 1-inch edge of the crust feels set, 14 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack until barely warm. It's okay if the center of the cookie sinks as it cools.
• For the butterscotch sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until foamy and sizzling. Stir in the sugar, cream, salt and 1 teaspoon water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil without stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. If it looks like the butter has separated from the sauce, add a few drops of hot water and stir until smooth. Pour into a heatproof measuring cup and let cool while assembling the pie.
• To assemble: Remove the cookie base from the pan if desired. Fill the center of the cookie crust
• with scoops of ice cream. Sprinkle with the marshmallows, almonds and chocolate chips and slice. Drizzle butterscotch sauce over each slice and serve (see Cook's Note). Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 week.
