Summer-inspired rocky road recipe

Who doesn’t love chocolate? This is a tasty way to enjoy the flavour of summer with a delish take on the classic rocky road. 

This recipe, from our friends at the Outstanding Food Producer Awards, is vibrant red thanks to the inclusion of freeze-dried raspberry and summer flavour courtesy of cranberries and cherries.

Ingredients:

• 250g block of dark chocolate 
• 250g block of milk chocolate 
• 150g almonds, skin on, toasted and very roughly chopped
• 150g Turkish delight, cut into 2.5cm pieces
• 160g vanilla and raspberry marshmallows, halved or quartered if large
• 100g dried cranberries
• 50g dried sour cherries 
• 1-2 tablespoons lightly crushed freeze-dried raspberries, for sprinkling (optional)

Method:

• Line a shallow baking tin, about 30cm x 20cm with baking paper.
• Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a large heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring gently once or twice.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Fold in the chopped almonds.
• Add the Turkish delight, marshmallows, cranberries and cherries and fold to just combine all the ingredients.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. 
• Sprinkle with the freeze-dried raspberries, if wished. Leave to set at room temperature then cut into large pieces. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
