Shortboard Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shortboard Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese, and unsalted butter. Beat until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add all-purpose flour and powdered sugar to the mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Add Nuts and Flavor

    Fold in the chopped walnuts and honey until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Shape the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a log. Wrap in the parchment and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Bake the Shortboard

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Remove the dough from the refrigerator, slice it into rounds, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Garnishes

    While the shortboard is cooling, prepare the garnishes by slicing fresh figs and chopping dried apricots.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dessert Plate

    Once the shortboard cookies have cooled, arrange them on a serving platter with sliced baguette, fresh figs, and dried apricots.
