  3. Pour hot milk on to the eggs and whisk well.
  4. Return the bowl to the soft heat of the simmering water and stir constantlyu, but gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. The custard is ready when it has thickened to a smooth, velvety consistency, do not allow it to boil, remove from the heat and place a piece of cling film on the surgace of the custard to stop a skin forming and chill until required.

  7. Form another thin layer of cake cubes, sprinkle with brandy, then top with jelly and half the custard.
