Icing: 

  • 2 tbsp Collagen Beauty Vanilla
  • ¾ cups dairy free butter (softened but not room temp)
  • ¼ cup coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 2 tbsp healthy sprinkles (preservative free, natural colours)
  1. Combine almond flour, thriving family, collagen beauty, and a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Add cold butter, ‘crumb’ the dry ingredients and butter together with your hands using your fingers in a rough pinching manner.
  3. Knead in the egg yolk and agave nectar until you get a soft, smooth dough.
  4. Place dough into a medium rectangle lined baking tray (we used a standard 9 x 13 inch tray)
  5. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 340°F then bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 30 mins (you can refrigerate).
  7. Create the icing mixture in a large bowl by adding the alternative butter, coconut cream, agave syrup, and vanilla.
  8. Lightly whip with a handheld mixer to combine. Add in the Collagen and whip for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes then smear over the shortbread, then scatter over sprinkles cut into triangles.

Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
