Rocky road tartlets

Vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free

Rocky road has to be one of my favourite desserts.

As tarts & tartlets are enjoyed around this time of year, I decided to combine the two together and create rocky road tartlets!

The crust is light and crumbly and the filling is ultra rich & smooth, topped with crumbled cookies, chopped hazelnuts, vegan cream, vegan marshmallows, dairy-free white chocolate, fudge pieces, and a dusting of snow (icing sugar).

They’re perfect for Christmas parties, events or pop on a festive film & tuck in! 

Preparation: 20+ minutes

Baking time: 9-10 minutes

Method (base)

Step 1- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees c and line 6 tartlet tins with greaseproof paper or grease with vegan butter.

Step 2- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, coconut oil and maple syrup.

Mix and bring together with your hands until a dough forms.

Step 3- Press the dough into the lined tins, prick the base with a fork and pop into the oven to bake for 9-10 minutes, until golden in colour.

Allow to cool fully before filling.

Method (filling)

Step 1- Scoop out the solid cream from the cans of coconut milk and place into a saucepan.

Gently heat until hot.

Step 2- While the coconut cream is hot, add in the vegan chocolate & maple syrup and mix until smooth and creamy. 

Step 3- Place the filling aside to cool for 30 minutes.

Step 4- Once cool, pour into the tartlet crusts, pop into the fridge and allow to set. This will take around 1-2 hours.

Step 5- Once the filling has set, drizzle over some dairy-free white chocolate, then top off with vegan cream or coconut cream and vegan marshmallows.

I also added on some chopped hazelnuts, chopped biscuits, and a sprinkle of snow (icing sugar) to make it even more like rocky road.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge, best eaten within a few days.
