Aero Rocky Road With White Chocolate
Servings: 24 squares
Equipment
- double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering saucepan of water - see notes
- rectangular baking sheet approx 30cm x 15cm lined with non-stick baking parchment paper
Ingredients
- 400 g white cooking chocolate broken into chunks
- 200 g milk chocolate broken into chunks
- 12 fingers shortbread chopped into dice sized chunks
- 40 g mini marshmallows
- 3 bar Aero chopped into chunks - I used White Aero but any flavour, or Cadbury's Wispa would similarly do.
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate in the double boiler until almost all lumps have melted.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, mix the white chocolate with 3/4 of the shortbread and all of the marshmallow. Decant into the baking tray lined with non-stick paper.
- Scatter 3/4 of the White Aero chunks on top. Allow the white chocolate to set for a few minutes.
- Clean the white chocolate from double boiler and then melt the milk chocolate chunks in the same fashion. Allow to cool slightly.
- Pour the melted milk chocolate over the top of the white layer. Spread towards the edges and then stud with remaining pieces of shortbread biscuit and White Aero.
- Leave to set firm and when completely solid slice into chunks with a sharp knife.
Notes
Tip: A double boiler is useful for melting chocolate but otherwise a heatproof bowl over a large pan of simmering water does the job equally well. I would not suggest microwaving large quantities of chocolate (although I do in other recipes using smaller amounts).
You can substitute shortbread with other biscuits such as digestives.
