  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Blackberry Lavender Crystal Domes:
  • 2 cups blackberry puree, strained
  • 1 cup blackberry juice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder
  • 1 tsp culinary lavender, finely crushed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the Lavender Velvet Filling:
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 tsp culinary lavender, finely ground
  • For the Mirror Glass Finish:
  • 1/4 cup blackberry preserves
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • For Garnish (optional):
  • Fresh blackberries
  • Dried culinary lavender buds
  • Edible silver dust

Instructions

  1. Combine blackberry puree, blackberry juice, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, crushed lavender, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Strain the mixture for a smoother finish, then pour into dome-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until partially set.
  3. Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and ground lavender until smooth, airy, and velvety. Transfer to a piping bag.
  4. Pipe a small mound of lavender filling into the center of each partially set dome. Cover with the remaining blackberry mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
  5. Carefully unmold the domes onto a chilled serving platter.
  6. Warm blackberry preserves, honey, water, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly while remaining pourable.
  7. Brush or pour the mirror glaze over each dome to create a reflective glass-like finish.
  8. Garnish with fresh blackberries, dried lavender buds, and a light dusting of edible silver dust. Serve thoroughly chilled.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality culinary lavender and ensure the domes are fully set before unmolding. The mirror glaze should be applied just before serving to maintain its shine.
