It’s International Chocolate Day, one we’re VERY happy to support.
Central Coast-based business – Herbie’s Spices has come to the “party” with a lip-smacking treat – their Cardamom Rocky Road.
This decadent version of rocky road was created for Herbie’s 18th birthday party (an event that our member PR agency – Pursuit Communications provided event coordination services). Filled with pistachios, macadamias, Turkish delight and cardamom-scented chocolate, then topped with a layer of Herbie’s magical spice dust, it is the ultimate indulgence.
We have it on good authority that you won’t be able to stop at one piece.
- 300g milk chocolate
- 200g dark (70%) chocolate
- ¼ tsp Herbie’s Spices Ground Cardamom
- 125g pistachios (unsalted, unshelled), roughly chopped
- 100g macadamias (unsalted), roughly chopped
- 200g good quality Turkish delight (rose, orange blossom, mint or a combination), cut into 1cm pieces
- 2 tsp Herbie’s Spices Spice Dust
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a glass bow with cardamom.
- Set the bowl over a saucepan a third filled with water and turn to high heat. Bring water to the boil then turn off, allowing the residual heat to melt the chocolate. Stir with a spatula for even melting.
- Prepare a 20cm square cake tin by lining with baking parchment.
- When chocolate is melted, stir through the nuts and Turkish delight until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared tin and refrigerate for 4 hours until firm. Cut into desired size pieces.
- Using a small sieve, dust the rocky road with spice dust before serving.
Our thanks to Herbie’s for letting us share this recipe.
