Ingredients

Mousse Ingredients

  • Fresh pomegranate juice – 1 cup
  • Heavy cream – 2 cups
  • Gelatin sheets or powder – 3 sheets (or 1 tbsp powder)
  • Sugar – 1/2 cup (divided between mousse and glaze)
  • White chocolate – 6 oz (finely chopped)
  • Water – 1/4 cup (for dissolving gelatin and syrup)

Glaze Ingredients

  • Fresh pomegranate juice – 1/2 cup
  • Sugar – 1/4 cup
  • Gelatin sheets or powder – 1 sheet (or 1 tsp powder)
  • Water – 1/8 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pomegranate Juice and Gelatin: Gently heat 1 cup of fresh pomegranate juice with 1/4 cup sugar until dissolved. Soften gelatin sheets in cold water, then stir into the warm juice until fully dissolved, creating a smooth base for the glaze and mousse.
  2. Whip the Cream: Chill your mixing bowl and whisk. Whip 2 cups heavy cream to soft peaks, giving the mousse an airy, silky texture.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Using a double boiler or low heat, gently melt 6 oz white chocolate. Let it cool slightly before folding into the whipped cream.
  4. Combine the Mousse Ingredients: Fold the cooled pomegranate juice and gelatin mixture into the white chocolate and whipped cream blend gently and thoroughly, preserving the mousse’s lightness.
  5. Mold the Domes: Pour or pipe the mousse into silicone dome molds, tapping gently to release air bubbles. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the mousse sets firm yet velvety.
  6. Prepare the Glossy Pomegranate Glaze: Heat 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and gelatin until a smooth, shiny glaze forms. Cool slightly to 90°F–95°F, optimal for glazing.
  7. Glaze and Chill: Remove mousse domes from molds and place on a rack. Pour the glossy glaze evenly over each dome for a mirror-like coat. Chill briefly until set and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh pomegranate juice for best flavor and color.
  • Chill all tools used for whipping cream to achieve perfect peaks.
  • Fold the mousse ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy.
  • Silicone molds help in easy and clean unmolding of delicate domes.
  • Pour mirror glaze between 90°F and 95°F for ideal shine and coverage.
  • Work quickly when glazing as the glaze sets fast.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze domes on a tray first, then transfer to airtight containers; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Do not reheat as it alters mousse texture and glaze finish.
