Rocky Road Dessert

Originally I called this a cheesecake because its got the cheesecake components, but it doesn't taste very much like a cheesecake to me.  It just tastes like delicious richness (and then you eat a bit too much and it because sickness, do not over indulge!).

Pinned ImageIngredients
1 1/4 cups chocolate-coated biscuits - crumbed 
1/4 cup coconut 
1.4 cup peanut butter - crunchy is great for this base 
60g melted butter - use salted butter 
2 x 225g softened cream cheese 
1/4 cup castor sugar 
200 g dark cooking chocolate - melted 
2 tsp gelatin dissolved in 
1/4 cup hot water 
2 cups pink and white marshmallows - cut into halves 


Method 
Grease and line a 22 cm loose bottom cake tin. 
Combine and mix well, biscuit crumbs, with coconut, peanut butter and melted butter. 
Press into a 22cm cake tin and allow to chill for a good 10 to 15 minutes. 
Beat together the cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until nice and smooth. 
Add melted chocolate, cream and gelatin mixture and beat until combined. 
Fold in the marshmallows and cherries. 
Pour mixture over base and chill in fridge for a good 2 hours or until set. 

Note: make a day in advance to save time.
