For the Pomegranate Glaze:
- 1 cup fresh pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon gelatin

Instructions
- Prepare the Mousse:

- In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in warm pomegranate juice and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, melt the white chocolate and stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
- Add the vanilla extract to the white chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
- Combine the melted white chocolate mixture with the whipped cream, and gently fold in the gelatin mixture until everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour the mousse mixture into dome molds and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until set.
- Prepare the Pomegranate Glaze:
- In a saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and sugar, heating until the sugar dissolves.
- Dissolve the gelatin in the mixture, then stir in the lemon juice.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before pouring it over the set mousse domes.
- Refrigerate again for 30-60 minutes to allow the glaze to firm up and give the domes their signature glossy finish.
- Assemble the Domes:
- Once the mousse has set and the glaze has firmed up, carefully remove the domes from the molds.
- Place them on a serving plate and let the glaze shine.
Notes
