Prepare Pomegranate Mousse
- In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of pomegranate juice and ½ cup of sugar until dissolved, stirring frequently. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder, ensuring it fully dissolves. Once well combined, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the cooled mixture until smooth. Pour into dome molds and freeze for about 4 hours or until solid.
Make Sponge Base
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and ¾ cup of sugar until pale and airy. Incorporate ½ cup of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually fold in 1 cup of flour until just combined. Spread in the prepared dish and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before cutting out circles for the dome bases.
Create Mirror Glaze
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of pomegranate juice, ½ cup of sugar, and 4 ounces of chopped white chocolate. Heat on low, stirring until melted and blended. Stir in 1 tablespoon of gelatin until dissolved, then let cool to around 90-95°F. Carefully pour over the frozen mousse domes.
Assemble the Domes
- Once the glaze has set, gently unmold the mousse domes and place them onto the sponge bases. Chill for an additional 30 minutes before serving, if desired.
