KP+: Florentine Millionaire's Shortbread

Day 1 of the 12 days of Christmas!

Hello and welcome to the first day of the Kitchen Projects 12 days of Christmas. It’s a festive recipe advent calendar, exclusively for KP+, where I’ll be sharing a gorgeously festive recipe every day straight to your inbox. I have so many treats in store for you, from preserves to drinks, giftable bakes and things just for you, I’m looking forward to the days ahead.

Let’s dive right in!

When I think about Christmas, it’s not mince pies that gets me excited. It’s florentines. You know, the golden discs of nuts, fruit and chocolate that either snap or bend, depending on which are your favourites. Sure you could eat them anytime of the year, but is there a better time to enjoy something so gorgeously decadent? Whether you like them crispy or chewy (and you can get my classic recipe here - one of my first newsletters ever!), I wondered if there were any recipes that I could infuse with florentine energy.
