Champagne & Raspberry Possets with Shortbread

Ingredients for the shortbread biscuits:

  • 200g butter or dairy-free option
  • 1tsp vanilla essence
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 300g plain flour (sifted)
  • Munchy Seeds (Honey Seeds, Super Berry, Choccy Apricot)

Method:

  1. Cream the butter, vanilla and sugar together. Stir in the flour and mix into a dough. Add the Munchy Seeds and blend into the dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 160c/ 140c (fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Once the dough is chilled, roll out to approximately ½ cm thick and cut into hearts using a hear-shaped cookie cutter.
  4. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Ingredients for the possets:

  • 140g frozen raspberries, defrosted
  • 2 tbsp Champagne
  • 200ml double cream
  • 4 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • Freeze dried raspberries to decorate

Method:

  1. Put the raspberries and Champagne in a mini food processor or blender (or use a jug and a hand blender). Whizz until the puree is smooth as you can get it, then use a wooden spoon or a spatula to push through as much of it through a sieve as you can. Discard the seeds left behind.
  2. Put the cream and sugar in a saucepan and warm gently until the sugar melts. Increase the heat until just boiling, then boil vigorously for 2½ mins, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat and stir in the raspberry/Champagne puree. Cool for 15 mins before dividing between 2 pots or glasses. Chill for 30 mins, then sprinkle over the freeze-dried raspberry pieces and chill for at least 2 hrs or more until set.
  3. To serve, remove the possets from the fridge and serve with Munchy Seeds heart-shaped shortbread biscuits.
