Marks & Spencer Viennese Raspberry Creams
What it is
These are delicate, crumbly biscuits with a sweet raspberry filling. They are made with a buttery Viennese-style dough, which gives them a light and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The jam is typically made from real raspberries, providing a bright, fruity counterpoint to the rich biscuit. They are often presented as a classic afternoon tea treat or a simple indulgence.
How people cook with it
These biscuits are perfect for enjoying with a hot drink or as a sweet accompaniment to dessert.
- With afternoon tea
- As a coffee break treat
- Alongside fruit salad
- With a scoop of ice cream
To enjoy, simply take one or two biscuits from the package. They are best served at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea, coffee, or even a glass of milk. For a more elaborate dessert, you can crumble them over a bowl of fresh berries or use them as a base for a no-bake tart. Their crumbly nature also makes them a good option for garnishing desserts.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard shortbread, Viennese biscuits are typically lighter and more tender due to a higher proportion of butter and sometimes the inclusion of cornstarch. The raspberry filling adds a distinct fruity flavor that is not usually found in plain shortbread or other butter cookies.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a classic, comforting biscuit for a moment of enjoyment.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing moisture from the air. Ensure the container is well-sealed.
