South African 15 Mins Prep ยท 30 Mins Cook
- To make the buttercream base, place the softened butter in a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric beater, beat until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, mixing between batches and scraping down the sides.
- Slice the lemon and add the juice of half of it to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy before finishing with the vanilla extract and single cream.
- Divide the buttercream evenly between two bowls. Stir the raspberry preserve into one half and the passionfruit pulp into the other..
- Spoon each flavoured buttercream into separate piping bags fitted with a star tip.
- Arrange the biscuits, flat side up. Pipe the raspberry icing onto the flat side of the chocolate biscuits, and the passionfruit icing onto the macadamia biscuits. Top each with a second biscuit to create sandwiches.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, if desired, to help the icing set firmly.
