Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine juice, sugar and gelatine and stir over low heat until dissolved. Cool for 15 minutes before pouring into a 20cm wide straight-sided trifle dish. Scatter half the raspberries in and refrigerate overnight or until set.
- Meanwhile, combine pistachios, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix. Brush 5 sheets of filo lightly with butter, sprinkle with pistachio mixture and layer without pressing down. Fold filo stack in half. Cut an 18cm disk from the filo and place on a baking tray. Gently crumple the filo. Repeat with remaining filo, butter and pistachio mixture. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Carefully peel layers apart and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream and icing sugar to firm peaks.
- In a small bowl, combine jam and boiling water and mix until smooth.
- Layer filo sheets whipped cream and remaining mixed berries in two layers on top of the jelly. Drizzle with jam and scatter mint leaves over. Serve immediately.
