Method

To make shortcake:

• Add ingredients to food processor and blitz until well mixed together into a fine crumb
• (If you don’t want to make it gluten-free you can use standard flour, but just use 125g butter)

To make filling:

• Mix together cream cheese, honey & half of the blue cheese
• Use 2/3 of shortcake mixture to press into the base of baking tin, bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 mins or beginning to lightly brown
• Spread spoons of the cream filling over the base, layer the pear slices evenly over the base
• Sprinkle over the remaining blue cheese & shortcake evenly over the filling and bake for a further 15mins or until cooked, and crumble starting to brown
• Let cool in tin before serving
