About the bake
The Rocky Road was first invented in1853 in Australia as a way of on-selling confectionery that had been spoiled by the long journey from Europe. Here they've been made into delightful little chocolate Christmas puddings.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C, gas mark 6). Place mini muffin cases in 2 x 12 hole mini muffin tins.
Step 2:
In a large bowl sieve together the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Step 3:
Stir in the sugar, cherries, marshmallows and milk chocolate chips.
Step 4:
In a jug whisk together the egg, extract, milk and oil.
Step 5:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently mix until just combined, don’t over mix.
Step 6:
Spoon or pipe the mixture between the muffin cases and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the tin immediately and cool on a wire rack. When cool, peel the cases away from the muffins and discard.
Step 7:
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the cooled muffins to look like white sauce on a Christmas pudding. Top each with either the holly and berry sprinkles or silver balls.
