  1. Place the raisins and Vin Santo in a small bowl, cover and leave to stand for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Place the almonds on a baking trya and toast them for 5 - 7 minutes. Gas Mark 4/180 C until golden. Leave to stand until cold.
  3. Whisk the cream until softly peaking. Sift in the icing sugar and whisk again until thick but not stiff. Gently fold in the soaked raisins and any liquid and the almonds. Spoon into a freezer proof container.
  4. Cover and freeze overnight.
  5. Transfer to the refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve in scoops in Askeys Brandy Snap baskets ( I dipped the rim of the basket in some melted chocolate) or Tuile Shells. Alternatively freeze the mixture in a loaf tin and serve in slices with Askeys Cafe Curls.
  7. Top with a few extra wine soaked raisins if you wish.
