A refreshing - if frustrating - dessert for winter

Today I made Mr Slater's Refreshing dessert for winter served with Brandy snaps
The fruity dessert  consists of clementines and pomegranate - very healthy, but a desert is a treat and we all need a little bit of naughtiness! Hence the brandy snaps. The addition of pistachios to the brandy snap mixture adds texture and flavour.
I had a disaster with my first batch, leaving them to cool for 5 mins as instructed by the recipe, they became too cool to shape. Learning by my mistakes the second batch fared better. 
I also made the Potato and onion sauté from page 507 for lunch to accompany - yes - left over turkey. 
Quick to prepare, very tasty accompaniment to any meat or fish.
