Make the jelly according to the packet instructions and allow to cool slightly.
Divide the raspberries between six decorative glasses and pour over the unset jelly until each glass is about one-third of the way full. Allow to cool slightly, then place in the fridge to set completely for 5-6 hours.
Spoon a layer of custard over the jellies and add a layer of Madeira cake.
Dollop the Avonmore Freshly Whipped Cream over the custard and smooth with a butter knife.

Ingredients
Makes 12
ยท 320g Ready Rolled Puff pastry
ยท 220g Mincemeat
ยท 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
ยท 1 Egg Yolk mixed with 1 tbsp Milk
ยท 25g Butter
For The Vanilla Frost Dip
ยท 100g Cream Cheese
ยท 75g Icing Sugar
ยท 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
ยท 1 tbsp Cream
ยท Good Pinch Sea salt
Method
Preheat to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF/Gas Mark 4).
Unroll the puff pastry on a clean work surface, with the long edge on the top and bottom. Carefully spread the mincemeat all over the surface, leaving a 1cm edge all round. Dust over the ground cinnamon.
Carefully begin to roll the pastry to create a long log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12, roughly 3cm thick each.
Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave and use to brush the holes of the muffin tin generously. Place the cut pastry swirls into each of the muffin holes, then brush with the beaten egg mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Gently remove from the tin immediately to a cooling rack, and allow to cool.
For The Vanilla Frost Dip
Place the cream cheese in a bowl and whisk using a handheld blender for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar followed by the vanilla extract, cream and salt. Whisk again for another few minutes until light and fluffy.
Serve the mincemeat swirls warm or at room temperature with the vanilla frost dip in small bowls alongside.
