I found a recipe for it on the Encyclopedia Potterica at 
http://www.geocities.com/potterica/knickerbocker.html

For those without easy web access, it's the following:
KnickerBocker Glory Recipe

1 x 1 pint packet raspberry jelly 

Melba sauce: 
1 x 8 oz can raspberries 
juice of 1/2 lemon 
2 oz caster sugar 
2 oz shelled hazelnuts, finely chopped 
1/4 pint whipping cream, stiffly whipped 
4 cherries (fresh or glace) 

Make the jelly according to packet directions, then leave to set. 
Meanwhile, make the Melba sauce: put the raspberries, lemon juice and 
sugar in a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove 
from the heat, then rub through a sieve into a measuring jug. Measure 
150 ml/1/4 pint puree, making it up with the water as necessary. Mix 
the arrowroot to a paste with a little cold water. Return the puree 
to the rinsed-out pan, stir in the arrowroot paste and bring to the 
boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, stirring 
constantly. Leave until cool. Chop the jelly roughly, then put 1 
spoonful in the bottom of each of 4 Knickerbocker Glory or sundae 
glasses. Put a few peach slices on top of the jelly. Peel and slice 
the bananas, then put a few slices on top of the peaches. Put 1 scoop 
of ice cream in each glass, then pour over a little of the Melba 
sauce and sprinkle with nuts. Continue with these layers until all 
the ingredients are used up, then pipe a whirl of cream on top of 
each glass and top with a cherry - 'delicious'. Serve immediately.
