Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin + 1 tablespoon cold water
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin + 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin + 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Heat raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until soft and syrupy. Blend and strain to remove seeds. Bloom gelatin in cold water, add to puree until dissolved, and freeze in molds for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, sift in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, then fold together. Bake for 8–10 minutes, cool, and cut into circles.
- Bloom gelatin in cold water. Melt chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a bowl until smooth. Stir in gelatin and vanilla, then cool. Whip remaining heavy cream and fold into chocolate mixture.
- Fill dome molds with mousse, place a raspberry insert in each, top with more mousse, then add sponge cake rounds on top. Freeze overnight to solidify.
- Bloom gelatin again. Heat sugar, water, cocoa, and cream until smooth. Stir in gelatin and cool to 90–95°F (32–35°C).
- Unmold frozen domes on a wire rack and pour glaze over each dome. Allow excess glaze to drip off for a smooth finish.
- Transfer glazed domes to the fridge to thaw for 2 hours before serving, garnishing with fresh raspberries or gold leaf.
Notes
Ensure the raspberry insert is fully frozen before assembling the domes for the best results.
Handle the mirror glaze carefully to achieve a smooth finish, working quickly for best results.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for freshness.
