Rocky Road with Goji Berries and Nuts

-

A colourful array of nuts and dried fruit make for a slightly more wholesome version of a traditiona­l Rocky Road.

500 grams dark chocolate, chopped roughly

¾ cup goji berries

¾ cup each pecans, pistachio nuts and coconut chips

1 cup puffed rice (you could also use puffed millet)

To garnish freeze-dried fruit (I used raspberrie­s and mandarins), optional

Line a 23cm-square cake tin with baking paper.

Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Sit the bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Heat until the chocolate is melted and whisk until smooth. Stir through the remaining ingredient­s.

Press the mixture firmly into the tin. Sprinkle with freeze-dried fruit, if using. Place in the fridge to set for 2 hours.

Use a hot knife to cut into pieces. Rocky Road will last for 3 weeks in an airtight container.
