90 minutes
Pomegranate juice pie is a refined dessert with an enchanting sweet-sour note. Its roots can be traced back to European cuisine, where berries and fruits have long been used to give baked goods a special flavor. This pie combines the airy texture of sponge cake with a rich pomegranate juice soak, creating a harmony of sweetness and light acidity. Pomegranate not only gives the pie a unique taste but also enriches it with natural antioxidants. Its delicate dough soaked in pomegranate glaze literally melts in your mouth, while a light dusting of powdered sugar completes this symphony of flavors. This pie is perfect for cozy family tea times or as an elegant treat for guests, impressing with its sophistication.
