Ruby Strawberry Hibiscus Mirror Domes with Glossy Finish
Ingredients
For the Hibiscus Strawberry Mousse:
* 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed
* 2 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers
* 1\/4 cup water
* 1\/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1 tbsp powdered gelatin
* 3 tbsp cold water (for blooming)
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
For the Vanilla Sponge Base:
* 2 large eggs
* 1\/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1\/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1\/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Ruby Mirror Glaze:
* 1 tbsp powdered gelatin
* 1\/4 cup cold water (for blooming)
* 1\/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1\/3 cup light corn syrup
* 1\/4 cup water
* 1\/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
* 1\/2 cup ruby chocolate chips
* 2 drops red gel food coloring
Directions
1. Simmer the water and dried hibiscus flowers in a small saucepan for 5 minutes, strain out the flowers, and mix the ruby liquid with the strawberry puree and sugar. Bloom 1 tablespoon of gelatin in 3 tablespoons of cold water for 5 minutes, melt it completely in the warm strawberry hibiscus mixture, and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Whip the heavy cream to medium peaks, then gently fold it into the cooled strawberry hibiscus puree until smooth. Pour the mousse into silicone dome molds, leaving a small space at the top, and freeze for 4 hours until solid.
3. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale, gently fold in the flour, vanilla, and melted butter, then spread the batter onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
4. Cool the cake completely, then cut out small circles that match the diameter of the dome molds. Press a cake circle onto the flat bottom of each frozen mousse dome, then return the molds to the freezer.
5. Bloom the remaining gelatin in 1\/4 cup of cold water. In a saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup, and 1\/4 cup of water to a boil, then remove from heat, stir in the bloomed gelatin, condensed milk, ruby chocolate chips, and red food coloring, blending until perfectly smooth and glossy.
6. Unmold the frozen domes and place them on a wire rack set over a tray. Pour the glaze over the frozen domes at 90\u00b0F until completely covered, let the excess drip off, then transfer the domes to plates and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
