Jelly delights

1.To make the strawberry jelly, whiz strawberry purée and sugar syrup together in a blender.
2.Place ½ cup in a bowl and warm in a microwave, or in a pot on the stove. Add gelatine and stir to dissolve. Mix into the remaining purée, pour into iceblock moulds until roughly two-thirds full, and freeze.

4.Beat egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale. Continue beating while you add the warm milk.
5.Pour mixture back into pot and gently heat over a double boiler, stirring until custard coats the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into a jug and chill.
6.Once jelly has set, pour chilled custard on top of jelly, filling moulds nearly to the top. Freeze overnight.
