Rocky road is a no-bake treat, typically made using chocolate and marshmallows along with add ins like; nuts, berries or dried fruit, jelly or other lollies, coconut – basically anything your heart desires (or anything you’ve had in your pantry for a few hundred years that needs using). And what’s even better is that when you make rocky road yourself, it’s fully customisable! Here’s our version, but feel free to mix it up based on what you love.

MARSHMALLOW INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp Cell Squared’s grass-fed and finished gelatin powder
1 ½ cups filtered water

Method
JELLY INSTRUCTIONS
Blend the strawberries with 2 cups water until completely smooth.
Mix the gelatin with 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and let this sit for a minute or two and allow the gelatin to bloom (thicken).
Place a sieve over the top of the saucepan and pour the strawberry liquid through it to remove all the strawberry seeds.
Place on a low-med heat until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Pout into a lined container or tin and place in the fridge to set.

Mix the gelatin with 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and let this sit for a minute or two and allow the gelatin to bloom.
Add 2-3 tbsp of honey + the vanilla.
Melt on a medium heat until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Pour the gelatin into a glass bowl and whisk using a hand beater or an electric beater until the marshmallow has at least tripled in size. It’s ready when it’s smooth, creamy and glossy. This should take approximately 6-8 minutes.
Pour the marshmallow into a lined container and place into the fridge to set.
CHOCOLATE INSTRUCTIONS
Add the coconut oil and chocolate into a saucepan. Heat on a low heat until it’s combined and completely melted.
Remove from the heat and cool completely before assembling, otherwise the warm chocolate can start to melt the marshmallows and jelly cubes.
ASSEMBLY
Cut the strawberry jelly into small cubes
Cut the marshmallow into small cubes
Give the nuts a rough chop.
Add the jelly cubes, marshmallow cubes, nuts and any extra add ins into a bowl and cover with the melted (and cooled) chocolate and mix until evenly combined.
Pour the mix into a lined container evenly. Press down if needed to ensure all the gaps are filled.
Place into the fridge to set.
Slice into squares and enjoy!
