Place the balls of dough onto 2 ungreased baking trays, allowing room for them to spread when baked, and flatten each slightly with a fork.
Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes. Then leave to cool on the tray.
Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Stir until smooth, then beat in the cream. Cool slightly and use to sandwich the cooled biscuits
