  • 6 fresh raspberries

  • 6 tbsp (80g) butter, chilled
  • 2/3 cup (70g) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (16g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp (7ml) water

Raspberry Mousse

  • 9 oz (250g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/3 cup (70g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp (5g) gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) water
  • 1 cup (240g) whipping cream (35% fat)

For Decoration

  • Chocolate decorations

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chocolate Domes: Place the white chocolate and 2 tablespoons of whipping cream in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a bain-marie until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into 6 small 1 ½ inch (4cm) semicircle silicone molds, insert one fresh raspberry into each, and smooth the tops. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Make Chocolate Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, ground almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Incorporate the chilled butter using a pastry blender, fork, or processor until crumbs form. Add 1 ½ teaspoons of water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Shape and Bake Biscuit: Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼ inch (6mm) thickness. Use a 3-inch (7.5cm) round cutter to cut out disks, removing excess dough. Place disks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill again for 30 minutes if possible. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), bake for 8-9 minutes until set, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Prepare Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, strain through a sieve to remove seeds, then cool.
  5. Dissolve Gelatin: Soften gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of cold water for 5-10 minutes. Warm gently until dissolved and stir into the cooled raspberry sauce.
  6. Make Raspberry Mousse: Whip 1 cup of chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the gelatin-infused raspberry sauce into the whipped cream until well combined.
  7. Assemble Mousse Domes: Transfer mousse into a piping bag fitted with a ½ inch (1cm) plain tip. Place 2.7-inch (7cm) dome silicone molds on a baking tray. Pipe mousse to cover the base and sides of each mold, filling halfway. Place one frozen chocolate dome (with raspberry inside) on top of mousse in each mold, add more mousse to cover, and smooth the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Finishing Touches: Carefully unmold domes and place each onto a prepared chocolate biscuit crust disk. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow domes to thaw gently before serving.
  9. Decorate & Serve: Garnish with freeze-dried raspberries and chocolate decorations for an elegant presentation. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Domes!

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate domes are fully frozen before assembly to maintain their shape during mousse filling.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries interchangeably for the mousse; just thaw frozen raspberries before cooking.
  • For best texture, chill the dough well before baking and avoid overworking it.
  • The silicone molds facilitate easy unmolding and perfect dome shapes.
  • These domes can be stored frozen and thawed in the refrigerator before serving.
