- 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 the berry salad, add a scoop of strawberry ice cream and spoon over a litte juice. Decorate with fresh mint leaves.
