Why You're Going To Love Homemade Rocky Road
There's SO much to love about this rocky road recipe... here's just a few reasons that it's going to become a favourite at your house this Christmas!
- No-Bake - forget about turning the oven on! The only thing you need to do with rocky road is melt the chocolate and mix everything together!
- Quick & Easy - if you've got 10 minutes to spare, you've got time to make this white chocolate rocky road!
- Great Homemade Gift - pop a few small pieces of rocky road into a cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon for a cute and delicious Christmas gift.

What You Need
This simple rocky road recipe requires just 5 ingredients:
- white chocolate - I recommend using a good quality chocolate (such as Cadbury, Lindt, Whittakers, Nestle or Hersheys) for this recipe. As the white chocolate is the main ingredient, it makes ALL the difference to the overall taste if you use a good quality brand.
- marshmallows - I like to use regular sized marshmallows. The ones I use are Pascall brand (popular in Australia) and come in white and pink. See my tips below for cutting up marshmallows without any stickiness! Alternatively, you can use mini marshmallows if you prefer.
- Turkish delight - the Turkish delight that is needed for this recipe is the traditional variety (the variety that is covered in icing sugar - not coated in chocolate). You can buy boxes of Turkish delight from the supermarket in the lead up to Christmas. I often find that they will put it on the ends of the aisles or on a Christmas baking stand. If you can't find it, I suggest asking an employee of the supermarket as they can usually point you in the right direction.
- pistachios - choose roasted and unsalted pistachios.
- coconut - I recommend using desiccated coconut in this recipe. If you prefer, you can omit the coconut.
If you can't find classic Turkish Delight, you can always substitute it for raspberry lollies or dried cranberries... but Turkish Delight really is worth the search!

White Chocolate Rocky Road
Ingredients
- 500 g white chocolate see notes
- 20 g coconut oil - optional see notes
- ¼ cup (35g) desiccated coconut
- 100 g marshmallows cut in half
- 150 g Turkish delight chopped into small chunks (see notes)
- 80 g pistachios roughly chopped
Instructions
- Line the base and sides of a 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice tray with baking paper.
- Place the white chocolate and coconut oil into a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat, uncovered, on 50% power, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate and coconut oil melts (if using a Thermomix, melt for 3-4 minutes, 80 degrees, Speed 2).
- Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth.
- Stir through the coconut, marshmallows, Turkish Delight and pistachios.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking tray and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until completely set.
