Ingredients

Scale

Mousse Base

  • 2 tablespoons cherry blossom syrup or extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream (divided)
  • 2 sheets gelatin or 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 6 ounces white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest or juice
  • A few drops of pink or light purple food coloring (optional)

Additional Components

  • 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup crushed biscuits or almond praline for a crunchy base

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gelatin: Soften gelatin sheets in cold water or bloom gelatin powder as per package instructions to ensure a smooth set without lumps.
  2. Melt Chocolate Mixture: Warm 1 cup of heavy cream with white chocolate over low heat, stirring until melted. Stir in cherry blossom syrup, sugar, and lemon zest or juice to combine flavors thoroughly.
  3. Incorporate Gelatin: Remove from heat and fold softened gelatin into the warm chocolate mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.
  4. Whip Cream: Whip remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold into chocolate-gelatin mixture to create an airy mousse texture.
  5. Assemble Mousse Domes: Optional: add a thin layer of crushed biscuits or almond praline to bottom of silicone dome molds. Spoon mousse into molds, adding halved cherries before filling completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight for firm setting.
  6. Unmold and Garnish: Carefully unmold mousse domes once set. Garnish with edible glitter, crushed pistachios, or cherry blossom petals as desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use high-quality, fresh heavy cream and authentic cherry blossom syrup or extract for optimal flavor.
  • Do not overwhip the cream; achieving soft peaks keeps the mousse light and silky.
  • Ensure adequate chilling time so the mousse sets firmly and retains its dome shape.
  • Silicone molds simplify unmolding and help maintain the delicate domes’ structure.
  • Taste the mousse mixture before chilling and adjust sugar or syrup to suit your preferred sweetness.
