Ingredients
- 300 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 60 g whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 100 g mini marshmallows
- 150 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g raw almonds
- 75 g dried cranberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. You can also use a double boiler if preferred.
Step 3
Once melted, stir in the chocolate whey protein powder until well combined and smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing thoroughly.
Step 4
Roughly break the digestive biscuits into small pieces and add them to the chocolate mixture, along with the mini marshmallows, raw almonds, and dried cranberries.
Step 5
Mix everything together until well coated with the chocolate mixture.
Step 6
Pour the rocky road mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly, pressing down gently with a spatula to remove any air pockets.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the rocky road out of the tin using the overhanging parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 12 squares.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your high protein treat!
