Mix everything together and chill for a few hours giving the bowl an occasional toss.
Whipped yoghurt
350ml double cream
175ml Greek style yoghurt

Jam biscuits

160g castor sugar
2 egg yolks
225g plain flour

Your choice of jams
Beat the butter, sugar and yolks together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Mix in the flour, almonds and baking powder to a dough. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Set the oven to 150oc.
Take a dessertspoon of the dough and roll into ball and place on baking tray a few centimetres apart. Press down and make a dent in the middle with your thumb - good to use damp hands for the rolling and denting.
