while browsing at a cookbook in a shop the other day(dont know the name), i saw a recipe using Sponge Fingers and a Jelly. I remember you made the jelly with only 300ml of water, then when it was almost ready to set, dipped the whole finger in and then in coconut. I have done that, but feel i have missed something. Has anyone heard of it. Maybe i didnt let the jelly almost set.

Not sure what you mean but a hint next time you make jelly, add 1tsp citric acid. It brings out the flavour.
