  1. Tip the Madeira cake and nuts into a medium bowl. Drizzle over the brandy and stir well. Divide the mixture between 6 large tumblers, then top with compote and custard.
  2. Break the bars of nut brittle into a food processor and blitz until crushed quite finely. (You can prepare to this stage up to two hours before serving.)
  3. When ready to serve, sprinkle a thick layer of crushed brittle on top of each tumbler.
