  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 8-10 domes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Mousse Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or high-quality bottled pomegranate juice
  • 3 gelatin sheets or 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 100 grams white chocolate

Glossy Glaze Ingredients

  • 100 grams glucose syrup
  • 50 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 gelatin sheet or 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin (for glaze setting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin: Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until soft, or sprinkle powdered gelatin over cold water to bloom. This ensures the mousse will set into firm yet tender domes.
  2. Heat Pomegranate Juice and Sugar: Warm the pomegranate juice gently over low heat and stir in the sugar until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in the softened gelatin until completely melted and combined.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning, adding richness to the mousse.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Whisk the warm pomegranate and gelatin mixture into the melted white chocolate until smooth for even flavor and texture.
  5. Whip the Cream: Beat the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the pomegranate mixture to create an airy and silky mousse texture, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Mold the Domes: Pour the mousse into silicone dome molds, smoothing the tops. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best firmness.
  7. Prepare the Glossy Glaze: Soften gelatin for glaze. Combine glucose syrup, condensed milk, and gelatin, then warm and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly until thick but pourable.
  8. Glaze the Domes: Carefully unmold the set mousse domes onto a wire rack and pour the slightly cooled glaze over each dome to achieve a flawless shiny coating. Allow glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality pomegranate juice for best flavor and color.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully bloomed to avoid lumps and uneven setting.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain mousse airiness.
  • Allow glaze to cool sufficiently to thicken but remain pourable for a perfect finish.
  • Chill molds before use to help mousse set faster and unmold easily.
