- Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and blackberry compote until smooth, airy, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Pipe a small mound of dream cream filling into the center of each partially set dome. Cover with the remaining blackberry mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
- Carefully unmold the domes onto a chilled serving platter.
