Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form.

Fold in the yoghurt and pomegranate seeds gently.

Pulse shortbread ingredients in a food processor with enough water to bind.

Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface to form a ball.

Roll the dough to 1cm thickness and cut into rectangles.

Place dough on a baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and prick with a fork.

Bake for 5-7 minutes until the shortbread is golden-brown.

Spoon mousse into a glass and serve with shortbread and mint.
