  • 100 g/ 4 oz White chocolate

  • Gently melt the chocolate over a Bain Marie. Once melted stir until completely smooth
  • Meanwhile put the cream into a small jug and heat until scalding (but not boiling) in the microwave
  • Use a mini whisk to mix in the custard powder until smooth (ensure no lumps remain)
  • Pour the milky mixture over the white chocolate, add the vanilla bean paste and mix in
  • Let cool to room temperature, cover and chill for 3-4 hours
  • Crumble the shortbread biscuits until they look like breadcrumbs

Notes

I used Birds custard powder - the type that comes in a drum and is blended with milk. I do not recommend using the Instant powder from sachets that is made with boiling water.
