Instructions
- Prepare fresh pomegranate juice.*

- Refrigerate pomegranate mixture, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 2 1/2 hours.
- When pomegranate mixture is ready, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; thoroughly fold into pomegranate mixture. Reserve.
- Whip cream until soft peaks form; reserve 6 tablespoons for garnish. Carefully fold remaining whipped cream into pomegranate mixture.
- Divide mixture among six 8-oz. parfait glasses; chill at least 4 hours.
- Prepare garnish:
- Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water.
- Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs).
- The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top.
- Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of the arils from fruit and set aside.
- (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
- To serve this pomegranate recipe garnish each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream; sprinkle with chopped nuts and pomegranate arils.
Notes
*For 1 cups of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer.
Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.
Thanks, POM Wonderful!
