Method:

1. Lightly oil a 15 cm/6 in deep, round loose-bottomed cake tin (pan). Cut the ends off the Swiss rolls and chop. Put to one side.

2. Cut each roll length­ways into four slices. Arrange the slices all round the sides of the prepared tin.

3. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and coffee in a small bowl and leave to soften for 5 minutes. Stand the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until completely dissolved (or heat briefly in the microwave).

4. Remove from the pan. Stir into the custard with the drinking chocolate. Leave until on the point of setting.

5. Make up the Dream Topping with the cold milk. Fold into the just setting custard. Turn into the prepared tin.

6. Scatter the chopped Swiss roll on top and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Chill until set. Remove from the tin and serve cold.
