Rocky road with almonds, goji berries and strawberries

It may feel sacrilegious to mess with a childhood favourite, but this spin on rocky road adds goji berries and freeze-dried strawberries to balance out the sweetness. It’s all the better for it.

Ingredients

500 gm milk chocolate, finely chopped

200 gm vanilla marshmallows

150 gm roasted almonds, coarsely chopped

150 gm (¾ cup) glacé cherries

100 gm goji berries

20 gm freeze-dried sliced strawberries (see note)

Method

1.Grease a 20cm square cake tin and line with baking paper, leaving some overhanging the sides. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water), and stir occasionally until melted (2-3 minutes).

2.Remove chocolate from heat, then add marshmallows, almond, cherries and goji berries and stir to coat well. Spread mixture evenly in cake tin, scatter with freeze-dried strawberries and refrigerate until set (20-25 minutes). Cut into pieces to serve. Rocky road will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 4 days.

Freeze-dried sliced strawberries are available from select supermarkets and at fresh-as.com.
