4 servings


Ingredients:

135g raspberry gelatine
1cm slices ready made sponge or Madeira cake
A good glug sweet Sherry
425ml ready made custard
175g tinned mandarins
A few drops vanilla extract
275ml double cream (heavy cream), lightly whipped
A small block good quality chocolate


Method:

• Make the gelatine by following the instructions on the side of the packet. Pour into a dish and leave. Once the gelatine is set, roughly chop.
• Put 2 pieces of cake into the bottom of each glass. Drizzle with the sherry and pour half of the custard over the cake and sherry. Spoon the gelatine over the custard, and then add the mandarins.
• Cover with the rest of the custard, drizzle with a little vanilla, and cover with the whipped cream. Scrape the chocolate with a sharp knife for shavings to top the lot.
