Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

  2. For the pomegranate mousse, whip the cream and sugar together in a bowl until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gently fold in the yoghurt and the pomegranate seeds.

  3. For the shortbread, place all of the shortbread ingredients into a food processor and pulse, gradually adding enough water to bind into a dough. Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead lightly to bring the dough together into a ball.

  4. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1cm/½inch and cut into rectangles. Place onto a non-stick baking sheet and sprinkle over the caster sugar and prick the dough with a fork. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden-brown.

  5. To serve, spoon the mousse into a tall serving glass and garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve the shortbread on a plate alongside.
