5 Whip all but 1 tbsp cream in a bowl to soft peaks. Crush the remaining raspberries and fold in with the remaining Grand Marnier.

6 Break up two of the biscuits in a polythene bag with a rolling pin and fold into the cream mixture.

7 Arrange a biscuit on a serving plate and add a swirl of the cream mixture. Place another biscuit on top and decorate with two of the reserved raspberries.

8 Spoon around the coulis and feather through the remaining cream. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with a mint sprig to serve.
