Winter clementineTriffle (Triffle de mandarinas o clementinas)

Here we are in the late winter, almost spring but elsewhere just going to start the winter.

Tangerines or clementines are more winter like oranges. This dessert was made with a batch of clementines that I had in fridge.

This triffle is about biscuits,jelly, vanilla curd, clementines and meringue :)

It is absolutely delicious, We love clementines or tangerines.
