Print Recipe

Delicate creamy bombs encased in a ruby-red jewel shell made from blood orange and pomegranate juice, glazed with a shiny jewel finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Ruby Blood Orange Jewel Shell:
  • 2 cups blood orange juice
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Blood Orange Cream Center:
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tbsp blood orange zest
  • For the Shiny Jewel Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup blood orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • For Garnish (optional):
  • Blood orange segments
  • Pomegranate arils
  • Edible gold dust

Instructions

  1. Combine blood orange juice, pomegranate juice, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture reaches a gentle simmer.
  2. Pour the mixture into sphere-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until lightly set.
  3. Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and blood orange zest until smooth, airy, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
  4. Pipe a small amount of the cream filling into the center of each partially set sphere. Cover with the remaining blood orange mixture and refrigerate until fully set and translucent.
  5. Carefully unmold the cream bombs onto a chilled serving platter.
  6. Warm blood orange marmalade, honey, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan until smooth and glossy. Cool slightly while keeping the glaze pourable.
  7. Brush or drizzle the shiny glaze evenly over each bomb to create a sparkling jewel-like finish.
  8. Garnish with blood orange segments, pomegranate arils, and a light dusting of edible gold dust. Serve well chilled.

Notes

Garnish options are optional; bombs can be served plain if desired. For best texture, serve well chilled.
