Instructions

Make the raspberry insert by cooking raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until syrupy. Blend, strain, and bloom gelatin in the puree before freezing.
Bake the sponge cake by preheating the oven to 350°F. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, sift dry ingredients in, combine, and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cut into circles for the dome base.
Prepare the chocolate mousse by blooming gelatin, melting chocolate with cream, adding gelatin and vanilla, and folding in whipped cream until smooth and airy.
Assemble the domes by adding mousse to molds, inserting frozen raspberry centers, topping with more mousse, and placing sponge cake circles on top before freezing overnight.
Make the mirror glaze by blooming gelatin, combining sugar, water, cocoa, and cream in a saucepan, simmering until smooth, and letting it cool to 90-95°F before use.
Glaze the domes by unmolding them, placing on a wire rack, and pouring glaze over each dome quickly for a smooth finish.
Serve or store by transferring glazed domes to the fridge to thaw for 2 hours before enjoying.

Notes

For the raspberry insert, adjust sugar to taste based on the tartness of the raspberries used.
Ensure the mousse is airy by gently folding the whipped cream into the chocolate, avoiding deflation.
