Description
A light and airy mousse dessert featuring the tart flavor of pomegranate, shaped into a dome.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup pomegranate juice, reduced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pomegranate arils for garnish
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin in the cold water for five minutes.
- Gently heat the reduced pomegranate juice in a small saucepan. Do not boil.
- Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm juice until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Whip the heavy cream and sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the cooled pomegranate mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the mousse into dome-shaped silicone molds.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or until firm.
- Carefully unmold the mousse domes before serving. Garnish with fresh pomegranate arils.
Notes
- Reduce the pomegranate juice by simmering it over medium-low heat until the volume is cut in half.
- For easier unmolding, you can briefly dip the bottom of the silicone mold in warm water.
