Prep time: 30 mins. Setting and chilling time: 5 hours
Ingredients:
(Serves 8)
- 8 sheets of leaf gelatine
- 12g sachet of raspberry jelly crystals
- 4 drops of Ginger Spice Drops
- 4 drops of Cinnamon Spice Drops
- 4 drops of Clove Spice Drops
- 6 drops of Cardamom Spice Drops
- 100g of Madeira cake cut into cubes
- 100ml red wine
- 3 tsp sugar
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 400g mixed berries, thawed if frozen
For The Topping
- 400g ready custard
- 500g fromage frais
- 4 drops of Cardamom Spice Drops
- 6 drops of Vanilla Spice Drops
- Hundreds and thousands for decorating
Method:
- Put the gelatine sheets into a bowl of cold water and leave until softened
- Stir the jelly crystals into 300ml of boiling water and set aside
- In a small bowl add the red wine Ginger, Cinnamon and Clove Spice Drops, sugar and orange zest. Mix till the sugar dissolves
- Squeeze the excess water out of the gelatine sheets and put the sheets into a large bowl
- Add the wine mixture onto the gelatine sheets then add the jelly mixture, stir well and leave to cool
- Arrange the mixed berries and the cake pieces into a large glass serving bowl and pour in enough of the cooled jelly mixture to cover about two-thirds of the bowl, leaving room for the custard and fromage frais
- Chill for at least 5 hours or overnight, so that the jelly sets well
- In a bowl mix the 6 drops of Cardamom Spice Drops into the custard and stir well
- Spoon the custard over the set jelly, then whisk together the fromage frais and Vanilla Spice Drops and spoon on top of the custard layer
- Scatter over the edible decorations before serving to give it a festive touch.
To try and make this a little less-naughty, substitute sugar for stevia - a natural sweetener and you can even make your own custard. To do this you just need egg yolk, milk, stevia (or sugar), cornflour and some vanilla Spice Drops.
