@LovelyPlum: It is pretty awesome! The best bit is that it looks amazing - a bit of a show stopper for dinner parties!

@rahlyrah: Yes of course. It's a Jamie Oliver recipe:

@Leialou: Firstly bake a couple of swiss rolls:

Then:

Line a large glass bowl with cling film.

Cut the swiss rolls into equal slices (approx 1.5cm thick) and line the inside of the bowl with them, making sure there are no gaps in between (hold up to the light to see!).

Then make a creme anglais:

Make about half the amount needed to fill the bowl you have used as a mould.

Soak some sheets of gelatin in cold water to soften. Make sure to use enough to set the volume of liquid required to fill the bowl you are using as a mould.

As the creme anglais is gently cooking, add the gelatin to the mixture and melt it into the creme anglais.

Whip up some double cream (enough to make the creme anglais up to the capacity of your bowl) and add the flavour you chose - either melted chocolate, fresh fruit puree (pureed rasberries are lovely) etc.

Combine the gelatin infused creme anglais and the flavoured whipped cream. Pour mixture into the swiss roll lined bowl.

Leave to set in the fridge overnight then the following day turn it out onto a serving dish.

Melt caster sugar in a bit of hot water in a saucepan and use a pastry brush to brush all over the Charlotte Royale - to glaze.

Does that make sense?!!

@wheres_c: Really?? They don't sell joints of meat?? What do they eat on a Sunday?? How does meat come then? And really, do they not have Swiss Rolls in Amercia?? No wonder people are always shooting each other (hahahaha)!
