Ingredients

For the Blackberry Cheesecake Mousse

  • 1 cup blackberry purée
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp culinary lavender, finely crushed
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin, bloomed in 2 tbsp cold water

For the Vanilla Cream Center

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

For the Silver Mirror Glaze

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 oz (140 g) white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin, bloomed in 3 tbsp cold water
  • Purple gel food coloring, as needed
  • 1 tsp edible silver luster dust

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh blackberries
  • Edible silver leaf
  • Dried culinary lavender buds

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix in the blackberry purée, finely crushed culinary lavender, and the melted gelatin until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold it into the blackberry mixture to create a light, airy mousse.
  4. Prepare the vanilla cream center by whisking together the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste until smooth.
  5. Fill silicone sphere molds halfway with the blackberry cheesecake mousse.
  6. Pipe a small amount of the vanilla mascarpone cream into the center of each mold.
  7. Cover with the remaining mousse, smoothing the tops with an offset spatula. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
  8. To make the mirror glaze, heat the sugar and water until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, bloomed gelatin, white chocolate, purple gel food coloring, and edible silver luster dust until smooth. Allow the glaze to cool to approximately 90°F (32°C).
  9. Carefully unmold the frozen cheesecake bombs and place them on a wire rack over a baking tray. Pour the silver mirror glaze evenly over each sphere, allowing the excess glaze to drip away naturally.
  10. Decorate with fresh blackberries, small pieces of edible silver leaf, and a light sprinkle of dried culinary lavender buds. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.

Storage Tips

Store the finished cheesecake bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the unglazed cheesecake bombs for up to 1 month. Thaw slightly before glazing and decorating for the best mirror finish.
