How to make MF Coffee walnut millionaire shortbread

The millionaire shortbread is a tasty biscuit that has been enjoyed by millions for decades. Originating from Scotland, this confectionery is very rich; hence it is preceded by the name “Millionaire”. One reason as to why it’s said that this desserts origin is from Scotland is because of its high-fat content which is usually found in many Scottish cuisines. This is most likely due to the cold weather which therefore required a greater layer for insulation, especially during the winter months. Of course at MF Products we decided to switch it up a little more and decided to make a recipe that infused our MF Coffee into the millionaire shortbread bread for maximum effect. This is turn created a different dimension to the confectionery which others at the office appreciated. This twist on a classic is still a greater partner with a cup of tea.

Ingredients:

-          200g of cold unsalted butter, chopped, plus extra for the tin

-          40g of walnut halves

-          250g of plain flour

-          75g of golden caster sugar

For the caramel

-          4 tablespoons of MF Coffee espresso powder

-          100g of light muscovado sugar

-          2 x 397g cans condensed milk

For the chocolate topping

-          300g of dark chocolate, chopped

-          50g of butter

-          30g of white chocolate, chopped

-          1 teaspoon of MF Coffee instant powder

-          30g of chocolate-coated coffee beans

-          20 walnut halves (about 50g)

Method:

1)      Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Butter and line the base and sides of a rectangular 20 x 30cm tin with baking parchment.

2)       

To make the base, blend the walnuts in a food processor until finely mixed. Add the flour, sugar, butter and ½ teaspoon of salt and blitz until the mixture is combined. Tip onto a work surface and bring together into a dough. Press the dough into the base of the tin and bake for 25 mins until lightly golden. Leave to cool.

 

3)      To make the caramel, mix the MF Coffee espresso powder in a small bowl with 1 tablepoon of boiling water to dissolve. Tip the sugar, condensed milk and espresso into a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, boil vigorously for 3 mins, whisking continuously until the colour has darkened slightly and the caramel has thickened. Leave to cool for 20 mins, then pour the caramel over the biscuit layer and chill in the fridge for 2 hrs.

4)       

 

5)      To make the topping, heat the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl in the microwave in 30-second bursts until evenly melted. Pour over the caramel layer. Melt the white chocolate in the same way and mix it with the MF Coffee espresso powder. Swirl and drizzle the white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer. Scatter over the coffee beans and walnuts. Chill for a further 2 hrs or overnight to set before slicing into squares.

Voila! That’s how you make MF Coffee walnut millionaire shortbread!

Benefits of nutmeg

Good morning my MF Products Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at the benefits of MF Nutmeg . Nutmeg is popularly known as Jatiphal and Jaiphal in India. It’s one of the oldest spices, like pepper and clove and it’s been cultivated for over 1000 years. Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of Myristica fragrans, a tropical tree that is native to the Banda island of Indonesia but also commonly grown in the Caribbean and other tropical areas of the world such as the St John Parish in Jamaica. When it comes to the actual characteristics, the nutmeg seed is oval-shaped, about an inch long, slightly wrinkled, dark brown on the outside and light brown on the inside. For centuries nutmeg has been treasured for its flavour, aroma, and medicinal properties throughout the world.   In regard to MF Nutmegs taste, it’s something quite extraordinary. It possesses this sweet, spicy yet woody sensation. It’s almost as if Christmas comes early with MF Nutmeg. Did you know nutmeg has coo...

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...
