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!

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 ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...

What is the best type of coffee?

Good evening my MF Product Blog readers, it’s been a while but we’re back with more content for you guys. Today, we saw a reader ask, “Out of all the different types of coffee, which one is the best?” and we believe it’s a great question. However, we also think that it depends on what you’re drinking for and that is what we will be investing in todays MF Blog . So, without further ado let’s get into this. A good cup of coffee is one that does whatever job it is that you assign it. Whether it be the most rank, percolated cup of coffee that you’re in dire need off for that extra boost or the most complex mocha made with MF Coffee that finesses your tongue with a touch of foam while you eat an olive shortbread. I know, fancy. The point is that there are so many variations of coffee to tickle your fancy. So, given that there are lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas the point this is that, while the ingredients are simple, the experience is not. There is nothing crazy about ordering a capp...
