Instructions
- 1 Pre-heat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.
- 2 Cream the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Sift the flour and ½ tsp Cinnamon together and stir into the creamed mixture to form a dough. Chill before rolling out to ½ cm (¼ inch) thickness.
- 3 Using a heart shaped cutter, cut 2 hearts slightly smaller than the base of the dessert plate. Cut another 2 hearts slightly smaller than the first 2. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from the tray.
- 4 Meanwhile, whisk the cream until firm, stir in the brandy, icing sugar and ¼ tsp Cinnamon. Place in a piping bag and pipe over the surface of the 2 larger heart biscuits. Top with the smaller biscuits.
- 5 To make the coulis, liquidize the mango flesh and orange juice. Scoop out the flesh from the passion fruit and stir into the mango. Pour onto the base of 2 dessert plates and place the biscuits on top. Serve with any remaining coulis.
