Baked Rocky Road Slice
- Replies 8
Ingredients
125grams unsalted butter - softened
75 grams CSR caster sugar
120 grams White Wings plain flour - sifted
395 gram can Nestle condensed milk
100 grams shredded coconut - Note #1
95 grams dried apricots - finely chopped
70 grams dried cranberries
50 grams pistachios - chopped - Note #2
90 grams Nestle milk chocolate baking chips
60 grams baking mallows - mini baking marshmallows
200 gram block Nestle Plaistowe premium milk cooking chocolate - broken into small pieces
Note #1 - desiccated coconut will make slice too dense
Note #2 - I prefer to use flaked almonds
Method
Preheat oven to 180.C or 160.C Fan Forced. Grease and a 20 centimetre square cake pan and line with baking paper.
For the base:
Beat the butter and sugar together in a medium size bowl, until light and creamy. Stir in the flour, and mix with your hands until a soft dough forms. Press into the pan and bake 13 - 15 minutes until pale golden.
For the topping:
Mix condensed milk, coconut, apricots, cranberries, pistachios and chocolate chips together. Gently spread over the base. Bake for 15 minutes. Gently remove from oven and push in the mallow bakes. Bake a further 10 minutes, or until firm and pale golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave following packet instructions and gently spread over the cooled slice with the back of a metal spoon.
Cool completely until the chocolate has set.
Trim the edges, and cut into four lines, then cut each line into five pieces making twenty squares. Keep in refrigerator.
Sweet and quite moorish

I have made many times and used home brand ingredients with the same results

I love Rocky road but sadly I won't be able to make this for awhile as I would be too tempted to eat it and I'm on a strict diet because on diabetes.
