Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 First, make a soft, rich custard: beat 4 egg yolks until light and pale yellow.
Step #2 Heat 2 c light cream with 1/4 c sugar & 1 tbsp orange flower water or vanilla.
Step #3 Add beaten egg yolks, while beating very hard.
Step #4 Then cook without boiling, stirring continuously until custard coats the spoon.
Step #5 Remove to a bowl.
Step #6 Cover & put in the fridge until well chilled.
Step #7 Cut a two-layer sponge cake (that you bake or buy) into finger-length pieces.
Step #8 Spread each one on one side with raspberry jam & quickly dip in 1/2 c sherry.
Step #9 Place half these sponge fingers in the bottom of a deep cut-glass bowl.
Step #10 Cover with half the custard.
Step #11 Whip 2 c cream.
Step #12 Sweeten with 1/2 c icing sugar & vanilla to taste.
Step #13 Cover custard with half the whipped cream.
Step #14 Make a second layer on top of all this.
Step #15 top this with a dozen or so toasted almonds, standing them upright in the cream, add a few slivers of angelica - or use small roses instead of almonds and angelica.
Step #16 put in the fridge at least 12 hrs.
Step #17 This beautiful dessert never fails to create a sensation, yet is easy to prepare.
