INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7.
1 Arrange the brandy snaps on a baking sheet, spacing them out well,
and place in the oven for about 30 seconds, or until they begin to
soften.
2 Remove from the oven and unravel each brandy snap. Press over
upturned greased ramekin dishes to make baskets and allow to cool.
3 Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, sit over a pan of simmering
water and allow to melt.
4 Turn the brandy snap baskets upside down and dip the edge in the
melted chocolate. Leave to set.
5 For the Syllabub: Place the egg yolks, 1 tsp icing sugar, white
wine, lemon juice and zest in a heatproof bowl, sit on a pan of
simmering water and whisk until light and fluffy.
6 Fill the brandy snap baskets with lemon syllabub and serve on
plates. Whisk 300ml/ 1/2 pint double cream until soft peaks.
7 Carefully fold the chopped chocolate log into the whipped cream
with the remaining melted chocolate. Place the cooking rings on a
greased baking sheet, spoon in the chocolate mixture to fill, and
then chill until set.
8 Carefully remove the cooking rings and transfer onto plates to
serve. Put the gingerbread tree on a baking sheet lined with baking
parchment and cook in the oven for 3-5 minutes to warm through and
slightly soften.
9 Using a sharp knife, cut out a piece of the centre of the
gingerbread tree to make a 'channel'.
10 Grind the hard boiled sweets in a coffee grinder to make a fine
dust and sieve to remove larger pieces. Sprinkle dust in the
'channel' in the gingerbread tree to make an even layer.
11 Bake for 1-2 minutes, or until the dust has melted. Remove from
the oven and allow to cool. Remove carefully from the paper and serve
on a plate.
12 Place the orange segments on a baking sheet and dust with icing
sugar. Caramelise quickly using a blow torch, or under a hot grill.
Place a cooking ring on a plate and squirt some aerosol cream into
the bottom, layer on the orange segments, carefully remove the
cooking ring and serve immediately.
