Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine the cherries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 mins or until the cherries collapse slightly and syrup thickens. Set aside to cool. Drain cherries, reserving the syrup.
  2. Step 2

    Place gelatine in a bowl. Pour over enough cold water to cover. Set aside for 5 mins to soften. Drain and gently squeeze to remove any excess water. Transfer gelatine to a clean saucepan. Place over low heat until gelatine melts. Add custard and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover. Chill for 2 hours or until almost set. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Step 3

    Arrange half the cake in the base of a 12-cup (3L) glass serving dish. Spoon over cream and top with half the cherries, half the almond, half the marshmallows and one-third of the Turkish delight. Drizzle with a little of the reserved syrup. Spoon over half the custard mixture.
  4. Step 4

    Top with the remaining cake, cherries and half the remaining Turkish delight. Drizzle with a little more reserved syrup. Spoon over remaining custard mixture. Top with the remaining Turkish delight, almond and marshmallows. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate to serve.
