Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake mixture.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, strawberry purée, lemon juice, and lemon zest until silky smooth.
- Stir the melted gelatin into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and airy filling.
- Fill silicone dome molds halfway with the cheesecake mixture.
- Place several cubes of strawberry jelly in the center of each dome, then sprinkle in the crushed rock candy and ruby candy pearls.
- Cover with the remaining cheesecake mixture, smooth the tops, and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
- Prepare the mirror glaze by heating the sugar and water until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, bloomed gelatin, white chocolate, ruby red food coloring, and pearl luster dust until smooth. Allow the glaze to cool to approximately 90°F (32°C).
- Carefully unmold the frozen cheesecake domes and place them on a wire rack set over a baking tray. Pour the mirror glaze evenly over each dome.
- Decorate with crushed rock candy, freeze-dried strawberry pieces, and small accents of edible silver leaf. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before serving.

Store the finished cheesecake domes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the unglazed domes for up to 1 month, then thaw slightly before glazing and decorating.
