Rocky Road Christmas Pudding
This rocky road Christmas pudding is the perfect festive dessert for chocolate-lovers, packed with Christmas biscuits, glacé cherries and mini marshmallows. No bake and great for making ahead of time.
Servings: 8 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 175 g butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 100 g mini marshmallows
- 160 g gluten free shortbread
- 100 g gluten free spekulatius biscuits
- 100 g glacé cherry halves
For the topping:
- 100 g white chocolate
- Green fondant icing
- 3 glacé cherry halves
Instructions
- Take a pudding bowl and line the inside thoroughly with clingfilm (plastic wrap). Set to one side.
- Add the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, butter and golden syrup to a pan. Place on a low heat, stirring regularly, until the butter and chocolate have melted.
- Meanwhile, crush the biscuits (in a bag or just using your hands, or by roughly chopping them). You want to have a mixture of everything from bigger chunks to crumbs.
- When the chocolate mixture has melted, leave to cool for a couple of minutes. Then add the biscuits, mini marshmallows and cherry halves. Mix well so everything is coated.
- Pour the mixture into the lined bowl and press down firmly so there are no gaps. Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or ideally overnight, to set completely.
To decorate:
- Melt the white chocolate then pour over the rocky road to look like brandy sauce. Place back in the fridge until set.
- Cut holly leaves from the green fondant icing and place them on top, with some glacé cherries as the berries, before serving.

Notes
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
