COMBINE the fruit and brandy then microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes until fruit is plump. Allow to cool.

Place a sponge layer, jam side up, onto a large double thickness of foil. Spread the Philly mixture evenly over the sponge base then top with remaining sponge, jam side down.
WRAP the cake tightly with foil to enclose filling and freeze overnight until firm. Stand cassata in fridge for 10 minutes before slicing thickly. Place slices on serving plates, dust with icing sugar and drizzle with coulis. Serve immediately.
