Method

Soak the gelatine sheets in a small bowl of cold water for 5 mins until flexible.
Add 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp water to a small pan and warm over a low-medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat. Squeeze the excess water out of the gelatine and add it to the pan, swirling the pan to allow the gelatine to dissolve fully into the sugar solution.
Carefully pour the prosecco over the back of a dessertspoon into the pan, stir gently to combine, then divide among 4 roughly 250ml glasses. Stir 1 tsp sherbet into each glass, then chill in the fridge for 3-4 hrs until set.
Pour the limoncello onto a small plate and the pistachios, the zest of ½ lemon and 1 tbsp caster sugar onto a second plate, mixing the dry ingredients to combine. Once the jelly is fully set, dip the rim of each glass into the limoncello followed by the pistachios mix to create a uniform rim.
Top the jelly with an even layer of cake and drizzle over the remaining limoncello from the plate.
Whisk the cream and 1 tbsp caster sugar together until it reaches medium peaks and starts to hold its shape, then fold through the yogurt. Evenly divide the cream among the glasses and swirl 1 tsp lemon curd into each.
Top with a sprinkle of the remaining pistachio and lemon sugar and a little extra lemon zest. Serve immediately or store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
