WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Split each sponge in half and spread with a thin layer of raspberry jam.
- Sandwich each half together and cut into quarters. Place in the bottom of a glass bowl. Sprinkle the whisky over the sponges and spoon over the raspberries and their juice.
- Chill for 3-4 hrs.
- Place the milk and vanilla pod in a small pan and slowly bring to a simmer. Transfer to a heatproof jug and leave to infuse for 10 mins. Remove the vanilla pod from the milk.
- Separate the eggs and put the yolks, corn flour and sugar in a bowl and whisk together. Whisk in the milk and the sieve into a saucepan.
- Cook over a gentle heat, stirring constantly until the custard starts to thicken, being careful not to allow to boil. Cook gently for 2 mins until the custard has a thick consistency.
- Pour the custard into a cold bowl to prevent further cooking and sprinkle the surface with a thin coating of caster sugar to prevent a skin forming. Allow to cool.
- Spoon the cold custard onto the raspberries in the bowl, spreading to the edges.
- Squirt the whipped cream on top of the custard and spread to the sides of the bowl.
- Decorate with the almonds and the cherries and serve.
