Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pomegranate juice and sugar, stirring until dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water for 5 minutes. Once warm, add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Cool slightly before folding in whipped cream.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Beat eggs and sugar until light and pale, about 5-7 minutes. Gradually add melted butter and vanilla, mixing until incorporated. Sift in flour and fold gently until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake sponge in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out disks from the sponge base and place each disk in dome molds. Layer with pomegranate mousse, filling molds completely and smoothing the top.
- Cover molds with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours until mousse is firm, allowing for day-ahead preparation.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine pomegranate juice and sugar until dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Bloom the gelatin in cold water and whisk into warm juice. Remove from heat and stir in chopped white chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly to around 90-95°F before applying.
- Carefully unmold frozen mousse domes onto a wire rack. Pour cooled mirror glaze over each, ensuring even coverage. Let set for about 10 minutes before transferring to a platter. Serve chilled.

Notes
Ensure each mousse dome is fully frozen before glazing for best results. Use a kitchen thermometer for the glaze temperature.
