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
- Prepare the raspberry insert by cooking the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Blend, strain, and mix with bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Freeze the mixture in small molds.
- For the sponge cake, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, sift in the dry ingredients, and bake on a lined tray for 8–10 minutes. Cool and cut into circles.
- To make the chocolate mousse, melt chocolate with some heavy cream, combine with bloomed gelatin and vanilla, then fold in whipped cream until smooth.
- Assemble the domes by filling mold cavities with mousse, placing the raspberry insert, adding more mousse, and topping with sponge cake. Freeze overnight.
- Prepare the mirror glaze by blooming gelatin, combining ingredients in a saucepan, and cooling to the right temperature.
- Glaze the unmolded domes, letting excess drip off for a smooth finish.
- Serve the domes after thawing in the fridge for two hours, garnishing as desired.
Notes
Ensure that the raspberry insert is frozen solid before assembling the domes for the best texture.
The mousse consistency should be light and airy; do not overmix when folding the whipped cream in.
