Instructions

For the raspberry insert, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until soft and syrupy. Blend until smooth, strain to remove seeds, and stir in bloomed gelatin. Pour into small silicone molds and freeze until solid.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Sift in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, then fold to combine. Spread the batter on the tray and bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool and cut circles for the dome bases.
Bloom gelatin in cold water for the mousse. Melt chocolate with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Add the bloomed gelatin and vanilla. Let cool slightly, then whip the remaining heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into the chocolate mixture.
Spoon mousse into dome molds and press a frozen raspberry insert into the center of each. Cover with more mousse and press a round of sponge cake on top. Smooth the surface and freeze overnight until solid.
For the mirror glaze, bloom gelatin in cold water. Combine sugar, water, cocoa, and cream in a saucepan. Simmer and stir until smooth. Remove from heat, add gelatin, and cool to 90–95°F (32–35°C).
Unmold the frozen domes and place on a wire rack. Pour glaze over each dome and let excess drip down for a smooth finish.
Thaw glazed domes in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries or gold leaf.

Notes

Ensure the raspberry insert is completely frozen before assembling the domes to maintain the structure.
For best results, let the mousse cool slightly before folding in the whipped cream to keep it airy.
Use fresh raspberries for better flavor, but frozen can be used as a substitute.
