- Bake for around 5 or 6 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and when cool enough to handle, scoop each biscuit up with a knife and lightly press inside a small cup to shape, remove and place on a cooling rack, repeat for each brandy snap cup.
- To serve, place a brandy snap cup on a plate, fill with fruit, add a scoop of clotted cream and Strawberry Ice Cream and spoon over a little juice. Decorate with fresh mint leaves.
