Steps

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
  • Sift the icing sugar, flour, and cornflour into a bowl and mix in ground almonds.
  • Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until no lumps remain.
  • Knead the mixture briefly on a floured surface to form a smooth dough.
  • Roll the dough 3mm thick and cut into twelve 7.5cm rounds.
  • Bake on a tray for 8-12 minutes until light golden-brown and cool completely.
  • Whisk double cream to soft peaks, then whisk in the custard.
  • Fold the chopped strawberries into the cream mixture.
  • Blitz 200g of raspberries with icing sugar in a food processor.
  • Pass the puree through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Place one shortbread disc on a plate and top with the cream mixture.
  • Arrange whole raspberries around the edge to enclose the cream.
  • Repeat the layers once more with another disc, cream, and raspberries.
  • Top with a final disc, dust with icing sugar, and garnish with mint.
  • Drizzle the raspberry sauce around the base of the stack.
