What to do
Add all of the biscuit base ingredients to a nonstick pan over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and then continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until the almonds and coconut are golden and toasted. Remove from the heat and divide between four pretty glasses.
To make the filling, whisk together the cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and honey until light and fluffy. Add the passion fruit and mango and mix just a few times so that it is incorporated in ‘swirls’. Divide between the serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until serving.
Just before serving, add a drizzle of passion fruit pulp to each dessert and alittle fresh mint if you like.
