White Christmas Rocky Road is a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy white chocolate with marshmallows, pistachios, glace cherries, and desiccated coconut. Perfectly sweet and crunchy, this festive dessert is easy to make and ideal for gifting or sharing during the holidays.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 500g (1 lb) white chocolate melts, chips, or chopped block
  • 2 tbsp grapeseed oil or other neutral flavored oil

Add-ins

  • 2 1/2 cups marshmallows (regular size, most cut in half)
  • 1 cup unsalted toasted pistachios
  • 1 cup glacé cherries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (or finely shredded, not flakes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a 20cm (8-inch) square pan with butter, then line it with baking paper leaving an overhang to make it easier to lift out later.
  2. Reserve toppings: Set aside about 8 of the nicest glacé cherries and finely chop 1 tablespoon of the pistachios for topping later.
  3. Melt chocolate: Place the white chocolate and grapeseed oil in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Mix in add-ins: Stir the marshmallows, pistachios, glacé cherries, and desiccated coconut into the melted chocolate until evenly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bang and shake the pan assertively to level the mixture.
  5. Add toppings: Arrange the reserved glacé cherries on top and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios for a festive look.
  6. Chill and set: Refrigerate the rocky road for 3 hours or until firm. Use the paper overhang to lift the solid block out of the pan, then cut into pieces as desired, either smaller chunks for eating or larger ones for gifting.

Notes

  • Note 1: Use good quality white chocolate melts or blocks for the best smooth texture.
  • Note 2: Grapeseed oil adds shine and helps keep the white chocolate smooth but you can substitute with any neutral oil.
  • Note 3: Toasting the pistachios enhances their nutty flavor; toast gently in a dry pan until fragrant.
  • Cutting marshmallows in half helps distribute them more evenly through the rocky road.
  • Use unsweetened desiccated coconut for less sweetness and better texture contrast.
