3/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail 1/4 cup pomegranate juice 6 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons gelatin 1 tablespoon orange liqueur 6 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 teaspoons orange zest 2/3 cup heavy cream Pomegranate arils Orange slices Fresh mint leaves
Rich Tart Pastry
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup cold butter, cut up 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon ice water
To achieve a perfectly smooth surface, the gelée mixture should be slightly thickened but still pourable so it flows evenly over the cream cheese layer. If the gelée is not pourable, microwave 5 seconds at a time until its pourable but still thickened.
