White Christmas Rocky Road

White Christmas Rocky Road recipe with white chocolate marshmallows cherries and pistachios. Easy no bake holiday dessert.

I made this White Christmas Rocky Road because I wanted a holiday treat that felt generous without feeling complicated. This is the kind of recipe you pull together while the kettle boils and the house is already busy. My wife enjoys recipes like this because they feel relaxed and forgiving, which suits the season.

What I like most is the balance of textures. The smooth white chocolate holds everything together while the marshmallows stay soft and the nuts add bite. It looks special when sliced but never feels fussy. That combination always wins people over at our table.

When I served this for family, it disappeared faster than expected. Plates went back for seconds without any prompting. That is usually the sign that a recipe earns a permanent place in the holiday notebook.
