Dome of Cranberry and Chocolate with a Surprise

Gone are the days when cranberries were used only for cranberry sauce. Their brilliant colour and tart taste make them a bonus for both sweet and savoury dishes.

Here is an exciting end to the festive meal. The surprise in this layered dome is a centre of lemon syllabub. The dome should not be made more than 24 hours in advance, and although it looks elaborate and takes time to chill, the actual preparation is quick.
