Base:

• 100 g butter
• 1 c flour
• ½ sugar

Topping:

• 50 g butter
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¾ c walnuts (or your favourite nuts)

For the base, place the chopped butter, flour and sugar into a food processor and whizz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Press into a prepared tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 15 mins or until firm and golden.

For the topping melt the butter and add in the brown sugar, lightly beated egg and vanilla. Pour this over the cooked base and sprinkle with the coarsely chopped nuts. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes or until the topping has set.

• 2 sheets sweet puff pastry
• 210 g softened cream cheese
• 1 cup frozen berries
• 1/3 c raw sugar

Preheat the oven to 200C. Cut each sheet of pastry into 8 squares. Spread each square with a tablespoon of cream cheese and top with a large teaspoon of berries. Sprinkle with raw sugar and bake for 12 mins until puffed and golden. Dust with icing sugar and serve with icecream or custard for a quick easy dessert.
