Pour on the lemon jelly mixture - it's best to pour the jelly onto the back of a spoon, and let this drizzle onto the custard layer to prevent any splitting.

Let the jelly set in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Spread on half of the whipped cream, and add another layer of the lemon cake. Spread on the lemon curd.

Add the second half of the custard, and then add the rest of the whipped cream on top.
