π©βπ³ Instructions:
For the berry core: simmer blackberries, blueberries, sugar and lemon juice for 5 minutes until the berries burst. π«
Whisk cornstarch with water and stir into the berry mixture. Cook 1β2 minutes until thickened but still pourable.
Pour into small silicone half-sphere molds (about 3cm), filling each halfway. Freeze for at least 2 hours until solid. βοΈ
For the mousse: bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes until softened.
Heat 100ml of the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over chopped white chocolate.
Let it sit 2 minutes, stir until smooth, then stir in bloomed gelatin and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
Whip remaining 200ml cream to soft peaks, then fold into the white chocolate mixture gently. βοΈ
Spoon mousse into larger silicone sphere molds (about 6cm), filling halfway.
Press a frozen berry core into the center of each, then top with more mousse to seal completely.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely solid.
For the mirror glaze: bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. π
Warm cream, sugar and water until the sugar dissolves, then pour over chopped white chocolate.
Stir until smooth, add bloomed gelatin and purple food coloring. Strain through a fine sieve.
Cool the glaze to exactly 32Β°C / 90Β°F β this is the magic temperature.
Unmold frozen spheres onto a wire rack over parchment paper.
Pour the warm glaze over each sphere in one confident motion, letting it drip down dramatically. β¨
Let set for 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to serving plates.
Crown each sphere with fresh blackberries, edible flowers, gold leaf flakes and fresh mint.
Serve immediately β crack open for the liquid berry reveal.
