- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Gold Mirror Glaze

Instructions
- Combine the vanilla biscuit crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and sea salt until evenly moistened.
- Firmly press the mixture into the bottoms of silicone dome molds to create a thin cookie base. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
- Bloom the gelatin for the cheesecake filling by sprinkling it over the cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of the strawberry purée and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining strawberry purée, and rose water until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake mixture, then gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until light and airy.
- Fill the prepared molds with the cheesecake mixture, smooth the tops, and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm.
- Bloom the gelatin for the mirror glaze in the cold water.
- Heat the sweetened condensed milk and water until steaming but not boiling. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Pour the hot mixture over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, then mix in the light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and gold edible food coloring. Allow the glaze to cool to approximately 90°F (32°C).
- Carefully unmold the frozen domes and place them on a wire rack set over a baking tray.
- Pour the gold mirror glaze evenly over each dome, allowing the excess glaze to drip away for a flawless finish.
- Transfer the glazed domes to serving plates using an offset spatula.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries, delicate pieces of edible gold leaf, finely grated lemon zest, and dried edible rose petals. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Storage Tips
Store the finished cheesecake domes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the unglazed domes for up to 1 month. Glaze and decorate after thawing slightly to achieve the best mirror-like shine.
