Glossy Pomegranate Mousse Domes are elegant, visually stunning desserts featuring a smooth and airy mousse infused with vibrant pomegranate flavor, encased in a shiny, mirror-like glaze. Perfect for special occasions or indulgent everyday treats, these domes balance tart and sweet with a light yet rich texture.

Ingredients

Mousse

  • Fresh Pomegranate Juice – 1 cup
  • Gelatin Sheets or Powder – 2 sheets (about 2 tsp gelatin powder)
  • Heavy Cream – 1 cup (whipped to soft peaks)
  • White Chocolate – 6 oz
  • Sugar – 1/4 cup

Glaze

  • Sugar – 1/2 cup
  • Corn Syrup or Glucose – 1/3 cup
  • Water – 1/4 cup (plus additional cold water for blooming gelatin)
  • Gelatin Sheets or Powder – 1 sheet (or 1 tsp gelatin powder)
  • Pomegranate Juice or Red Food Coloring – 1 tbsp (for color enhancement)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pomegranate Juice and Gelatin: Bloom the gelatin in cold water according to package instructions. Gently warm the fresh pomegranate juice in a saucepan, stir in sugar until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in the melted gelatin until smooth. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly but not to set.
  2. Melt and Mix the White Chocolate: Slowly melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or brief microwave bursts, stirring often to prevent burning. Once smooth, fold the cooled pomegranate mixture into the melted white chocolate and stir until fully combined.
  3. Whip the Cream: Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, where peaks gently tip over when the beaters are lifted. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pomegranate and white chocolate mixture to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Fill the Silicone Dome Molds: Spoon or pipe the mousse evenly into silicone dome molds. Tap the molds gently to release air bubbles and smooth the surface with a spatula. Freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight until fully set.
  5. Prepare the Glossy Mirror Glaze: In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and gelatin; heat gently without boiling until everything dissolves. Add a splash of pomegranate juice or red food coloring for color. Cool the glaze to about 90°F (warm to the touch) before using.
  6. Glaze the Frozen Mousse Domes: Remove the domes from the freezer and unmold carefully. Place them on a rack over a baking sheet. Pour the mirror glaze evenly over each dome, ensuring full coverage. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh pomegranate juice to avoid preservatives that can dull flavor.
  • Temper the white chocolate gently to avoid seizing or grainy texture.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to preserve the mousse’s airy texture.
  • Freeze the mousse domes thoroughly before glazing to achieve a smooth mirror finish.
  • Pour glaze at about 90°F to ensure proper consistency and shine.
