Yield:6
Ingredients
For the Crystal Lychee Shell: 2 cups lychee juice, 1 cup coconut water, 1 1/2 cups water, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/4 tsp salt
For the Coconut Dream Filling: 8 oz mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup coconut cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, 2 tbsp finely shredded coconut
For the Pearl Mirror Finish: 1/4 cup lychee jelly, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp water, 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish (optional): Lychee halves, Toasted coconut flakes, Edible pearl dust
Instructions
Combine lychee juice, coconut water, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lime juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
Pour the mixture into sphere-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until lightly set.
Whip mascarpone cheese, coconut cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and shredded coconut until smooth, airy, and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
Pipe a small amount of coconut dream filling into the center of each partially set sphere. Cover with the remaining lychee mixture and refrigerate until fully set and crystal clear.
Carefully unmold the dream bombs onto a chilled serving platter.
Warm lychee jelly, honey, water, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly while remaining pourable.
Brush or drizzle the pearl mirror finish over each bomb to create a radiant pearl-like sheen.
Garnish with lychee halves, toasted coconut flakes, and a light dusting of edible pearl dust. Serve thoroughly chilled.
