Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 6 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt
5 large egg yolks, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
  • Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
  • Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until it has thickened to a puddinglike consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding and refrigerate until completely cooled and thickened, about 4 hours.
  • Before serving, whisk the pudding vigorously until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the marshmallows, walnuts and chocolate chips. Spoon the pudding into six to eight individual cups and top with more chocolate chips.

ROCKY ROAD PUDDING



Rocky Road Pudding image

Here in Oz it can get very hot for Christmas so as a change we made this for our Christmas this year instead of the usual pudding. Everyone loved it. DD made this and it was so easy. She used chocolate ripple biscuits and frozen mixed berries, but have listed the original recipe from Food Ideas. Also shopping late as usual we couldn't buy silver cachous, so used Rainbow cho chips, which looked really pretty!

ROCKY ROAD CHEESECAKE PUDDING

We've blended two tempting sweet treats - rocky road and cheesecake - to create this irresistible make-ahead dessert.

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 x 200g ready-made chocolate loaf or marble loaf cakes
225ml double cream
150g dark chocolate, finely chopped
2 tbsp golden syrup
50g white chocolate
edible glitter, chocolate truffles, sprinkles and sparkles, to decorate (optional)
2 x 280g tubs full-fat cream cheese
200ml double cream
75g icing sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
½ orange, zested
150g dark chocolate
75g butter
1 tbsp golden syrup
75g digestive biscuits
25g pretzel pieces
50g mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Line a 2 litre pudding bowl with cling film, leaving some overhanging to cover the top later. Thinly slice the cakes lengthways (8-9 slices per cake) and use the slices to line the base and sides of the bowl, making sure there are no gaps.
  • Mix the ingredients for the filling with an electric hand whisk until thick and smooth. Fill the lined bowl with it, leaving some space for the rocky road to go on. Set aside.
  • Break the chocolate for the rocky road into pieces in a heatproof bowl. Add the butter and golden syrup. Set over a pan of simmering water and leave for a few mins until melted - turn the heat off if the water boils, the residual heat will be enough to melt it. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Tip the biscuits into a food bag and crush to a rubble with a rolling pin, creating some fine crumbs and some bigger pieces. Tip into the chocolate mix with the pretzel pieces and marshmallows. Mix until everything is coated in chocolate. Spoon it all over the cheesecake, covering the surface. Wrap the bowl in cling film and place a plate on top with a can to weigh it down. Chill for at least 24 hrs, or up to three days.
  • Decorate the cheesecake on the day you want to serve it. Heat the cream, chocolate and golden syrup in a pan over a low-medium heat until the chocolate has melted and you have a pourable mixture - don't let it boil. Unwrap the cheesecake and turn onto a wire rack with a tray underneath. Pour over the chocolate glaze to cover the entire cake. When it stops dripping, use a fish slice to transfer to a plate. Chill until the glaze has set (about 10 mins).
  • Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in shorts bursts in the microwave. Drizzle it over the top of the cake, then decorate as you like. We used edible glitter, gold sprinkles and chocolate truffles.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will help ensure that your pudding has the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it reaches a simmer, then remove it from the heat.
  • Chill the pudding thoroughly before serving. This will help it set and develop a firm texture.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Rocky road pudding is a great way to use up leftover candy, nuts, and fruit. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
  • Make ahead. Rocky road pudding can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

Rocky road pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover candy, nuts, and fruit, and it can be made ahead of time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give rocky road pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
