Spiced Rose Shortbread

August 19, 2019 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Marshmallow and shortbread are two flavours and textures I believe are a match made in delicious heaven. The shortbread is always smooth and crumbly and the marshmallow, sweet and fluffy.

I also love a good spiced shortbread, so I wanted to balance and accompany it with some soft rose infused marshmallow. Perfect for afternoon teas, special occasions or weekend baking where you’re after something pretty (manly pretty I must add) yet delicious. This marshmallow recipe is also based on my mothers growing up, so it’s always fool-proof and nostalgic all at the same time. Happy baking!

It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.
