WINE JELLY CREAM

Preparation Method :

• Heat half the wine, 30 ml of the sugar and the gelatine in a small saucepan. Dissolve over a gentle heat, then mix with remaining wine and set aside to cool.
• Pour into 4 wine glasses. Place in the refrigerator to set at a 45° angle.
• Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and heat almost to the boiling point.
• In a medium bowl, blend together the egg yolks, cornflour, remaining sugar and vanilla flavouring until pale, then pour on the hot milk, stirring continuously.
• Strain the mixture into a medium heavy-based or double saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• This takes about 20 minutes. Cool, then whip the cream until stiff, then fold into the custard.
• When the wine jelly is set, stand the glasses upright and pour in the custard.
• Return to the refrigerator to chill. Decorate with strawberries and serve with finger biscuits.
