Strawberries and cream shortbread crowns
Made with just four ingredients, these fun sweet treats are perfect for afternoon tea
Ingredients:
- 6 leaves basil
- 300ml whipping cream
- 1 packet M&S Scottish all-butter shortbread rounds
- 1 punnet M&S Red Diamond strawberries, sliced into triangles
Method:
- Mix the basil leaves into the whipped cream and leave to infuse in the fridge overnight. When ready to assemble the shortbread crowns, remove and discard the basil leaves.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Sandwich some cream between two of the shortbread rounds and run a knife around the edge to ensure a neat finish. Repeat with the rest of the shortbread rounds.
- Pipe little blobs of cream on top of the shortbread sandwiches to act as a glue for the strawberries.
- Decorate the tops of the shortbread sandwiches with the strawberry slices to resemble a crown.
