- 2 cups water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the White Chocolate Core:

Instructions
- Combine blended kiwi, lime juice, water, sugar, agar-agar, lime zest, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Pour the mixture into shallow molds or a baking dish and refrigerate until completely set and crystal clear.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy cream until warm and pour over white chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Mix in cream cheese and vanilla extract. Chill until thick enough to pipe or spoon.
- Cut the kiwi lime crystal layer into round cake shapes using a ring cutter.
- Pipe or spoon a portion of the white chocolate filling onto the center of one crystal round and top with another round to create a filled crystal cake.
- Arrange thin kiwi slices around the top in overlapping layers to resemble waterlily petals. Brush lightly with a mixture of honey and lime juice for shine.
- Chill for 15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set together.
- Garnish with lime zest curls, micro mint, and edible flower petals if desired.
