This is such a great recipe for a dinner party, it's super indulgent, one cake goes a long way, and you can make it a day ahead. It's basically a posh, grown up version of rocky road and the cocoa dusting gives it sophisticated restaurant status.

Steps

  1. 1

    Line a 1-litre loaf tin with clingfilm, leaving the clingfilm edges hanging over the sides of the tin.

  2. 2

    Smush up the amaretti in a bowl using the end of a rolling pin or a wooden spoon. You want a mixture of chunks and crumbs. Add the cherries, pistachios and coconut.

  3. 3

    In a large pan, break the chocolate into small pieces and cut the butter into chunks. Add the golden syrup and melt on a low heat until molten, giving the mixture a stir every so often. Stir in the almond extract.

    Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well, then spoon into the lined tin.

  5. 5

    Push the mixture down as much as you can, I used a potato masher, then cover the tin with foil or clingfilm and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Remove from the fridge around half an hour before you want to serve it so it's easy to slice neatly.

  6. 6

    Turn out onto a plate and remove the clingfilm. Dust with sieved cocoa powder and serve in thin slices.

I enjoy cooking mostly because I like eating, but also because it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. I work in book publishing and especially enjoy creating cookbooks written by cooks who love cooking and sharing food rather than creating show stopping dishes that take days to put together. As Nigel Slater would say; 'we are, after all, simply making ourselves something to eat'. I live with my lovely daughter Isobel who rarely pays any kind of compliment but will occasionally admit something I've cooked was quite nice, and our dog Piper, who will eat anything.

This is delicious. Thanks for sharing recipe. I could only get soft biscuits but it worked. Very decadent and rich, you only need small slices at a time. Great party treat.
