Mulled wine trifle

(Serves 8)

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets of leaf gelatin
  • 12g sachet of raspberry jelly crystals
  • 4 drops Ginger Spice Drops®
  • 4 drops Cinnamon Spice Drops®
  • 4 drops Clove Spice Drops®
  • 6 drops Cardamom Spice Drops®
  • 3 drops Orange Spice Drops®
  • 100g of Madeira cake cut into cubes
  • 100ml red wine
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 400g mixed berries, thawed if frozen

For the topping:

  • 400g ready custard
  • 500g fromage frais
  • 4 drops Cardamom Spice Drops®
  • 6 drops Vanilla Spice Drops®
  • Hundreds and thousands for decorating

Method

  1. Put the gelatin sheets into a bowl of cold water and leave until softened. Stir the jelly crystals into 300ml of boiling water and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl add the red wine Ginger, Cinnamon, Orange and Clove Spice Drops® and sugar. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze the excess water out of the gelatin sheets and put the sheets into a large bowl.
  3. Add the wine mixture on to the gelatin sheets then add the jelly mixture, stir well and leave to cool.
  4. 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.
  5. Chill for at least five hours or overnight, so that the jelly sets well.
  6. In a bowl mix the 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.
  7. Scatter the edible decorations on top, before serving, to give it a festive touch.
