These Passionfruit YoYos are buttery, melt-in-the-mouth biscuits sandwiched with a tangy passionfruit icing. Made with Western Star butter for perfect texture and flavour, they’re a classic treat with a fruity twist that’s ideal for afternoon tea, special occasions or homemade gifts.

Biscuits

Ingredients


Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Grease and line two large baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
  2. Place butter, icing sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a hand held electric mixer or use stand mixer. Beat until pale and creamy. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the cornflour and plain flour until a dough forms. Use your hand to squeeze mixture to combine all of the flour.
  3. Roll ½ tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place onto the prepared trays, 3-4cm apart. Flatten each one gently with the back of a fork.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits begin to colour, swapping trays halfway. Remove from the oven and cool on trays.


Icing

Ingredients


Method
  1. Beat the butter in a large bowl and beat with a hand-held electric mixer or use stand mixer. Beat for 1 minute, gradually add large spoonfuls of icing sugar and continue to beat on low until all the icing sugar has been incorporated. Add the passionfruit and mix with a spoon until combined.
  2. Spread the base of a biscuit with icing, and then join with another biscuit. Repeat with remaining biscuits and icing. Dust with icing sugar and serve.


Tips & Hints
  1. Leftover Icing will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
  2. Passionfruit Yoyo’s will keep for 5 days when stored in an airtight container.
  3. If fork is sticking to the dough, run it under cold water.
  4. If icing is too stiff to spread, place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 3-5 seconds and stir until soft. Mixture becomes firm on standing.
