Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the Shortbread

For the Filling

  • 300 ml Double Cream
  • Strawberries washed & halved
  • Icing Sugar

Instructions

For the Shortbread

  • Pre-heat you oven to 160°c and grease your baking tray with a little butter.
  • Cream together the butter & sugar in a large bowl until it becomes light & fluffy.
  • Sift in your flour and mix to form a stiff dough. Roughly chop your pistachio kernels and add them to the dough. Tip the dough onto a floured worktop and gently knead until smooth.
  • Roll your dough to around 5mm thick and cut into circles. Transfer each shortbread to your pre-greased baking trays and prick each one with a fork on top.
  • Bake at 160°c for around 15-20 minutes until the edges of the shortbread are golden.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool on their tray for around 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Filling

  • Cut your strawberries in half, dust with around a teaspoon of caster sugar and stir. Put aside to macerate.
  • Whip your double cream in a large bowl until it thickens. Add a teaspoon of icing sugar if desired.
  • Once your shortbread has cooled completely, spread a dollop of cream onto the underside each biscuit. Add the strawberries to half of the cream-topped the biscuits, either neatly arranged in circles or randomly, if preferred. Use whatever cream is left to fill any gaps in the strawberries.
  • Sandwich your strawberry & cream topped biscuits with the biscuits with only-cream.
  • Dust with a little icing sugar to complete.
