Part 3/6:
A unique approach to soaking the sponge fingers is used by dipping them in Clementine juice. This ensures that the dessert remains fresh and tangy rather than overly sweet or boozy. To add festive flair, a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds is also included—though they are available year-round, their vibrant color and crunch invoke nostalgic memories of childhood Christmases.
Once the sponge fingers are soaked with the flavorful juice and layered with fruit, they are left overnight, allowing all the delightful flavors to blend seamlessly, creating a perfect morning surprise.
