Make the Edible Spoons

1. Beat the butter till its light and fluffy.
2. Stir in the vanilla and mix well.
3. Add all the dry ingredients and work till the dough begins to come together.
4. Once done, cover with cling film and chill for approximately 30 minutes (can be more but not less).
5. Preheat oven to 375°F while dough chills.
6. Bring the dough to room temperature and knead for a few minutes till it soft and workable.
7. Divide into 8-10 equal parts and roll out each part onto a 4 inch oval.
8. If you have a spoon shape cookie cutter, cut out a spoon shape from this press into a spoon mould (use any oven-proof spoons you have at home- I used my ceramic appetizer spoons). If not, just press the dough into the mould and cut off the edges.
9. Using your hands, give the dough the shape of the spoon, leaving the base slightly thicker that the stem (this will make the spoon heavier at the bottom, allowing it to balance better once baked)
10. Prick the moulds with a fork and bake the shortbreads in middle of oven until centers are dry to the touch and edges are slightly darker, about 15 minutes.
11. Cool completely before removing them from the moulds.
12. Chill slightly by refrigerating for 20 minutes.

Make the Rice Pudding (Phirni)

1. Grind the rice to a paste in a blender.
2. Mix with the milk and bring to boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring continuously till the rice is fully cooked and the pudding starts to slowly thicken.
3. At this stage, add the sugar and rose water. Cook for another 5-6 minutes till the sugar is melted.
4. Remove from heat and cool. Once cooled, add the mango pulp and mix well. Chill for 2 hours.
5. Put a teaspoon of the phirni on the Chocolate Shortbread spoons, garnish with a piece of mango and serve cold.
