  • 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 Lemon Mousse Center:

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Combine strawberry puree, strawberry juice, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Pour the mixture into dome-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until partially set.
  3. Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla bean paste until smooth, airy, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
  4. Pipe a generous mound of lemon mousse into the center of each partially set dome. Cover with the remaining strawberry mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
  5. Carefully unmold the domes onto a chilled serving platter.
  6. Warm strawberry preserves, honey, water, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly while remaining pourable.
  7. Brush or drizzle the crystal shine glaze over each dome to create a radiant ruby-like finish.
  8. Garnish with fresh strawberries, candied lemon peel, white chocolate curls, and a delicate dusting of edible gold dust.
  9. Serve thoroughly chilled for the perfect balance of bright citrus and sweet berry flavor.
