Siba’s spiced Christmas cookies

The Lazy Makoti’s latest genius trifle? Sherry-soaked scones layered with berry coulis, custard and fresh berries and mint.
1. Place the frozen berries, lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes to lightly stew the berries. Strain and set aside the berries, reserving the juice.
2. Bring the juice to the boil for a minute or two to reduce by about half. Pour over the fruit and allow to cool.
3. Roughly break up each scone and divide between 6 individual dessert glasses, then pour over the sherry. Spoon over the cooled fruit mixture followed by a layer of custard. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries or blackberries and mint.
