For 2 small (recommended) or 1 large	Continued...
2 ginger nut biscuits	2 level tbspn mascarpone (see note 2)
1 tspn cardamom powder (see note 1)	2 tbspn yogurt
10 gm unsalted butter	2 tbspn icing sugar
	1 tbspn lime juice
	¼ tspn green food colouring
	1 kiwi fruit (garnish)

Break up the ginger nut biscuits and reduce to a powder using a food processor (or similar) and tip into a suitable bowl.
Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Melt the butter in a pan over a low heat and mix into the biscuit mixture, then chill in the refrigerator for about 10 min.
Using another suitable bowl, add the mascarpone, yogurt, icing sugar, lime juice and green food colouring and mix well - it will take a little patience to get it really smooth.
Remove the biscuit mixture from the refrigerator and mix together with 2 tspn of the mascarpone/yogurt mixture.
(2 small) Spoon half of the biscuit mixture into each of the two small serving bowls and smooth the surfaces.
(2 small) Tip half of the remaining mascarpone/yogurt mixture on top of each small bowl of biscuit base.
(1 large) Spoon the biscuit mixture into a suitable serving bowl and smooth the surface.
