Chocolate and Raisin Shortbread Crumble is a melt-in-the-mouth treat that combines buttery, crumbly shortbread with bursts of juicy raisins and pockets of rich chocolate. The base is gently pressed into the tin for a soft, tender layer, while the chilled chocolate chip dough is crumbled over the top to create a lightly crisp, golden finish. Perfect for sharing, this comforting bake strikes a delicious balance between sweet fruitiness and chocolate indulgence — ideal with a cup of tea or as a simple crowd-pleasing dessert.

Equipment

  • Large bowl

  • Second smaller bowl

  • Weighing scales

  • Knife

  • Teaspoon

  • Spatula

  • 7 or 8 inch - (18 or 20 cm) square tin

  • Parchment paper or silicon liner

Ingredients

  • 200g very soft butter

  • 200g Gem plain flour

  • 100g Gem cornflour

  • 100g Gem icing sugar

  • 50g Gem Gourmet raisins

  • 50g Gem milk or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1
Start with your butter. Make sure it is completely soft and the spatula can mash it without resistance.
2
Add the flour, cornflour and icing sugar to it and using your hands, mix until it all comes together and forms a very soft dough.
3
At this point take all but 200g of that mix out and pat into the lined square tin. Add the raisins on top and squish them into the dough as much as possible, dotting them evenly about the tin. Leave to the side but don’t refrigerate.
4
Add the chocolate chips into the remaining 200g of dough and mix them through well. Place this dough in the fridge for at least half an hour to harden.
5
Preheat the oven now to 160 °C fan.
6
When ready to bake, add the chocolate chip mix in crumbled pieces on top of the base in the tin.
7
Bake for 35-40 minutes - keep an eye that the top doesn’t brown too much.

Notes

You can add ½ tsp of vanilla or lemon extract if you’d like - put it in along with the butter.
