Making the Mousse

Whipping the Cream
  1. Whip heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pomegranate mixture.
Preparing the Sponge Base
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk flour, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Pour batter into a greased baking pan, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let cool completely before cutting into rounds.
Assembling Domes
  1. Cut cooled sponge into rounds that fit your dome molds.
  2. Place one round in each mold, fill with mousse, smooth tops, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Making Mirror Glaze
