    Method

    • step 1

      Line a 20-21cm square tin with baking paper. Put the raisins in a microwavable bowl, pour over 2 tbsp of Baileys and cover with clingfilm, then microwave for 30 seconds. Leave covered, so that the Baileys soaks into the fruit.

    • step 2

      Melt 150g each of the dark and milk chocolate along with the butter in a pan until completely melted, then stir in the soaked raisins, the rest of the Baileys, the shortbread pieces and the cherries. Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Put in the fridge for 1 hour, until firm.

    • step 3

      Melt the remaining dark, milk and white chocolate separately, then blob over the top and swirl together, sprinkling a little glitter here and there as you swirl. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Let it come to room temperature before slicing, so that the chocolate on top doesn’t shatter.

    Can I use cherries in kirsch instead of the maraschino cherries? Thanks

    Hi, thanks for your question. Yes these should be absolutely fine, just drain and halve as per the recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, the olive team.

    Made this a couple years in a row for Christmas, such a crowd pleaser! Very simple and reliable recipe that’s nice and easy to follow. No matter how much I make it’s always gone in a few days. Definitely don’t skip the glitter it makes it look very Christmassy!
