Biscoff Rocky Road Recipe
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Recipe Overview
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Makes: 16 squares or 4 large logs
Ingredients Needed
- 360g/12.7ozs (2x180g/6ozs blocks) Caramilk chocolate
- 160g/5.6ozs white chocolate bits or melts
- 250g/8.8ozs packet Biscoff cookies
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 180g/6ozs honey macadamias, keep whole
- 125g/4ozs Biscoff crunchy spread
- 100g/3.5ozs white mini marshmallows
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon fine salt (to taste)
- 50g/1.7ozs Biscoff smooth spread
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 PREPARE - Line a 20x20m or 8x8inch square baking tin with parchment on the base and sides.
Step 2 MELT - Break up the Caramilk chocolate and place in a microwave proof bowl along with white chocolate bits. Melt in the microwave on 40% power (not 100%!) heating in 30 second intervals. Mix well to create a uniform colour. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the chocolate.
Step 3 STIR - Set aside 15 Biscoff cookies and break the rest in half. Then heat the crunchy Biscoff spread in the microwave for 20 seconds on high or until liquid. Stir in the ground cinnamon, broken Biscoff cookies, honey macadamias, liquid crunchy Biscoff spread, marshmallows and salt. Stir well and then scoop into the prepared tin pressing it down. Adhere the remaining 15 Biscoff cookies on top with the reserved chocolate. Melt the smooth Biscoff spread in the microwave (10-15 secs high) and drizzle over the top.
Step 4 SET - Place the Rocky road in the fridge to set. Cut into 16 squares or 4 long logs.
STORAGE: Rocky Road lasts up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Substitution notes:
You can use smooth Biscoff in the actual rocky road too if you don't want to buy two different jars.
If you can't get Caramilk, look for a caramelised white chocolate or "blonde" or Dulcey chocolate. Or just use white chocolate!
Personal Note
I love giving this rocky road to friends, especially ones with sweet tooths. Because it is so quick and easy it's never a problem to whip up a batch and it's also great for Christmas pot lucks too.
This year I reconnected with a friend I haven't seen in a while. A lot of people say that making friends in Sydney is hard and I tend to agree (and I grew up here). I also don't want to let just anyone in my life because I've had bad situations with former friends like a narcissistic former friend who just wanted me to write about her husband's restaurant (as soon as they sold their restaurant, she ghosted me!).
I was shopping on South King Street in Newtown one afternoon and Mr NQN came to pick me up. I got into the car and looked out the window and thought I saw Girl Next Door eating her lunch while walking down the street.
Girl Next Door used to work at a food magazine and that's how we met. I used to go on a lot of food adventures but ever since she got became a celebrant I haven't seen her much. She used to look after Mochi and did a beautiful ceremony for her when she passed. Being a celebrant is a bit of an antisocial job as she was never available on weekends and we just drifted apart. She is also more of a facebook girly and I'm more of an Instagram and TikTok girly so we never saw what each other was up to.
I messaged her to ask if it was her and she confirmed that it was. She explained that she also works part time on King Street. We arranged to have lunch in a couple of weeks time and after that went out to dinner and dessert a few weeks after. And we just fell into this easy contact again and she's great to eat out with because she likes to try new things and is always thinking of the best angles for food!
So tell me Dear Reader, have you ever made Rocky Road at home? Do you give edible Christmas gifts?
