Ingredients
Scale

- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- 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
- In a small saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until soft. Blend and strain to remove seeds. Bloom gelatin in water and stir into warm raspberry puree. Pour into silicone molds and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Sift in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Fold to combine. Bake for 8–10 minutes and cut into circles for dome bases when cool.
- Bloom gelatin in cold water. In a bowl, melt chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth. Stir in gelatin and vanilla. Let cool. Whip remaining heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Spoon mousse into dome molds, press raspberry insert into the center, then cover with more mousse. Top with sponge cake, press gently, and freeze overnight.
- Bloom gelatin in cold water. In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cocoa, and cream, simmer until smooth. Stir in gelatin and cool to 90–95°F (32–35°C).
- Unmold domes onto a wire rack. Pour glaze over each dome, allowing excess to drip down.
- Transfer glazed domes to the fridge to thaw for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries or gold leaf.
Notes
Make sure the raspberry insert is completely frozen before assembling the domes.
Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor in the mousse and glaze.
Serve with additional fresh raspberries for an elegant touch.
