Instructions

In a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice until soft. Blend and strain to remove seeds.
Bloom gelatin in water, stir into warm raspberry puree, and freeze in molds for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, sift in dry ingredients, and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool and cut into circles.
Bloom gelatin for the mousse. Melt chocolate with 1/2 cup cream. Stir in gelatin and let it cool slightly. Fold in whipped cream gently.
Fill dome molds with mousse, insert a frozen raspberry, and cover with more mousse, topping with sponge cake. Freeze overnight.
Bloom gelatin for the glaze. Combine sugar, water, cocoa, and cream, bring to simmer, stir in gelatin, and cool slightly.
Unmold frozen domes, glaze them, and let excess drip off for a smooth finish.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries for a vibrant flavor or frozen ones if fresh aren’t available.
Ensure the mousse and raspberry insert are completely frozen before assembly for the best texture.
Add decorative elements like fresh berries or gold leaf for an elegant touch.
