Coffee, and a smaller bowl than you think you need.

Method · 25 minutes
  1. Line the base of a glass bowl with sponge and spoon over the orange juice until it's soaked but not swimming.
  2. Scatter half the berries and a generous handful of crushed Punch 'n Crunch Kurma over the sponge.
  3. Pour the custard over in a slow, even layer. Chill for 15 minutes so it holds its shape.
  4. Whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon it over the custard in clouds.
  5. Finish with the rest of the berries, a shower of orange zest, and whole Kurma sticks pushed in at angles. Add the last of the crushed Kurma just before serving so it stays crisp.
