Break the sponge cakes into medium size pieces and
spread each piece with jam. Place in a large glass

Make the custard: Heat half the cream in a small

spread over the custard. Decorate with the flaked
almonds. Cover and chill for 3 - 4 hours before
serving.

This is nice served with a good dessert wine, one of
the Australian or Californian Muscats would be great.
