Instructions
Combine watermelon juice, mixed berry puree, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
Pour the mixture into sphere-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until slightly set.
Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth, light, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag and chill.
Pipe a small amount of vanilla silk filling into the center of each partially set sphere. Cover with the remaining watermelon berry mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
Carefully unmold the rose quartz bombs onto a serving platter.
Warm mixed berry preserves, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
Brush or drizzle the berry glaze over the bombs for a sparkling gemstone finish.
Garnish with fresh berries, edible rose petals, and a light dusting of edible pearl dust. Serve thoroughly chilled.
