7. Spoon the mixture into the cases, filling 3⁄4 of each case, bake immediately in the hot oven for approx 15-20mins, until light golden, well risen and firm to the touch.
8. Turn out onto a wire rack and when cool dredge with icing sugar.
COOKS’ TIP: Try using fresh blueberries instead of raspberries and omit the white chocolate.
