Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin your culinary adventure by preparing a fruit purée for each fruity delight.
  2. If your fruit is fresh, reduce it with sugar and pectin, transforming it into a luscious nectar fit for your dessert dreams.
  3. Pour each purée into small molds, ready to forge the heart of your fruity creations. Freeze them until they become solid little gems.
Cream Mixture
  1. Heat half of your heavy cream and toss in some zest or flavoring for a pop of personality.
  2. Once heated, pour this mixture over your white chocolate, allowing it to melt into velvety bliss.
  3. Add your bloomed gelatin to this mixture, then fold in the remaining chilled cream and any extra purée or fruity liqueur.
  4. Blend everything marvelously and let it chill overnight.
Assembling
  1. When you’re ready, whip your mousse until soft peaks form.
  2. Fill silicone molds halfway with your fluffy mousse, insert the frozen fruity core, and top it off with more mousse until full.
  3. Freeze for at least six hours, or until rock-solid.
Finishing Touches
  1. Unmold your fruity masterpieces and spray them with a cocoa butter glaze.
  2. Fashion them into nature’s handiwork by adding stems or edible leaves.
  3. Store in the freezer until it’s time to serve.

Notes

Store wrapped in the freezer to keep fresh. Slightly thaw before serving for best flavor.
