    2. Place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle and pipe 32 x 4cm lengths onto the baking sheet, allowing room for spreading.
    3. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until just starting to become darker around the edges. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the sheet before moving to a cooling rack.
    4. To make the filling, combine all the filling ingredients with a teaspoon cold water and beat until smooth and creamy. Spread over half of the cooled biscuits and sandwich together with the remaining halves.
