MAKE THE BISCUITS

- Add the egg and mix until the dough becomes smooth. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before using, then remove it and leave it for a short while before rolling it out.
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas 6.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 2-3mm thick. Cut out 20 circles using the round cookie cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 6-8 minutes or until just a little bit browned. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
MAKE THE CREAMY FILLING & TOPPING
- Beat the cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar and whipping cream and mix for 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the biscuits are completely cooled.
MAKE THE CREAMY BERRY TOPPING

PREPARING THE BISCUITS CAKES
- Spread around a tablespoon of cream cheese filling on top of half of the biscuits. Add on top the other half of the biscuits.
- Put a tablespoon of cream cheese filling on top of each mini biscuit cake. Then using a teaspoon add the creamy berry topping. Garnish with small fresh berries. If using frozen berries, allow them to defrost before using.
- Serve chilled and eat with a pastry fork. They're even more delicious the next day.
