Method for Date and Banana pudding

Soak dates in warm brandy for 1 hr. Drain and retain brandy, halve the dates. Arrange half the dates in a serving dish. Place half the sliced bananas on top. Cover with remaining dates, then bananas. Sprinkle with Sherry. Pour cream in a bowl, pour in 2 tbsp brandy, orange rind and juice, stirring constantly to prevent the cream from separating. Mix in castor sugar to taste. Then pour the flavoured cream evenly over dates and bananas. Place in the fridge for 30-45 min before serving. Decorate with sliced fruits
