Directions:
Prepare Cookie Dough:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 12-hole cupcake tin.
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup caster sugar, and 1/3 cup light brown soft sugar until fluffy and pale (3-5 minutes).
Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract; mix well.
Add 1+3/4 cups plain flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda, and 1/4 tsp salt; mix until combined.
Fold in the zest of 1 lime and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
Shape and Bake:
Divide dough into 12 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
Place each ball into the cupcake tin and use a small cylinder-shaped object to press the dough into the sides and base, forming a cup shape.
Bake for 12 minutes until golden. Immediately press down the centers with the same tool to maintain the cup shape.
Remove from tin when cool enough to handle and cool completely on a rack.
Fill and Decorate:
Fill each cookie cup with passion fruit curd.
For the frosting, beat 1/2 cup butter until smooth, add 3/4 cup icing sugar, and mix until smooth. Add 1 cup cream cheese and 2 tsp prosecco flavoring; mix until thick and smooth (do not overmix).
Pipe or spoon frosting onto the cookie cups and decorate with passion fruit seeds and gold lustre dust.
