Step 1
Quarter and slice the strawberries, removing the stems
Add the honey and vanilla with a little sugar, and gently toss together
Cover and leave in the fridge to macerate for 12-24 hours*

Mix all the shortbread ingredients together until resembling fine breadcrumbs
Knead together, making sure not to overwork the dough, until a light ball is formed
Wrap in cling film and allow to rest for 1-3 hours in the fridge

Once rested, roll out to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface
Bake at 180oC until lightly golden and allow to cool
Step 4
Add the honey to the soft cheese followed by the vanilla bean paste and milk
Whip all ingredients together, adding a little more milk to loosen consistency until a soft peak is formed
Step 5

Add the shortbread pieces and decorate with the edible flowers
