This melting moments recipe couldn't get easier, and the fruity spin on this classic dessert makes the treat even better.

170g unsalted butter, softened
100g pure icing sugar, sifted, plus extra, to dust
1 tsp vanilla extract
260g plain flour, sifted
30g custard powder, sifted
1 tbs lemon juice

Passionfruit filling

1 cup (120g) pure icing sugar, sifted
1 tbs passionfruit pulp
Finely grated zest of 1 lime

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2.

Place the butter, sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until pale and fluffy. Beat in flour, custard powder and lemon juice until just combined.
3.

Using 1 tbs of mixture at a time, roll into balls, place 4cm apart on prepared trays, and gently press with a lightly floured fork. Bake, swapping trays halfway, for 14-16 minutes, until faintly golden. Cool.
4.

For the filling, beat all ingredients together in a bowl to form a stiff icing. Spread over half the biscuits, then sandwich with remaining biscuits. Dust with extra icing sugar to serve.
