2. Homemade vs. Store-Bought Custard: Homemade custard adds richness, but store-bought custard works well for convenience.
3. Perfect Layering: Make each layer distinct to create a visually appealing dessert with diverse textures.
4. Enhance the Sponge Flavor: For added moisture and taste, soak the sponge fingers in fruit juice or a splash of liqueur (for an adult version).
5. Prepare in Advance: Assemble the dessert cups a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
