• Place the brandy snaps on a baking tray in the oven for 1 minute. Remove from the oven and unroll them so they become flat. Place over an orange or an upturned tumbler and shape into a basket. Allow to set.

• Remove the fruit from the foil and spoon into the brandy snap baskets. Decorate with a little fresh mint and serve immediately.
