Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until soft. Blend, strain, and mix in bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Freeze in small silicone molds for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat eggs and sugar until pale, then fold in sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool and cut into circles for the dome bases.
Bloom gelatin in cold water. Melt chopped chocolate and 1/2 cup cream in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Stir in gelatin and vanilla. Cool slightly. Whip remaining cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture.
Spoon mousse into dome molds. Insert frozen raspberry centers, cover with mousse, and press in sponge cake circles. Smooth the surface and freeze overnight.
Combine sugar, water, cocoa, and cream in a saucepan. Simmer and stir until smooth. Add bloomed gelatin and cool to a pourable temperature.
Unmold frozen domes onto a wire rack. Pour warm glaze over each dome, allowing excess to drip off.
Thaw in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries or gold leaf.

Notes

Ensure the raspberry insert is fully frozen before assembling to prevent it from leaking into the mousse.
For best results, use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the mousse and glaze.
The mirror glaze should be warm but not hot to prevent melting the domes.
