Instructions
- Combine blueberry preserves, blueberry puree, lemon juice, and melted white chocolate until smooth. Spoon into small silicone molds and freeze until firm to create the jewel center.
- Mix crushed vanilla wafer cookies with melted butter and press into heart-shaped prism bases sized to fit the molds. Chill until firm.
- Whip cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, blueberry puree, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla bean paste until smooth, airy, and mousse-like.
- Fill prism-heart silicone molds halfway with the mousse. Place a frozen blueberry jewel center into each mold and cover with the remaining mousse. Seal with the chilled cookie base. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely firm.
- For the crystal glaze, combine white grape juice, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lemon juice, optional food coloring, and pearl shimmer dust in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow to cool slightly until glossy and pourable.
- Unmold the frozen hearts and place them on a wire rack over a tray. Carefully pour the crystal glaze over each prism heart, creating a sparkling gemstone-like finish that highlights every facet.
- Transfer to serving plates and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries, candied lemon peel, white chocolate shards, edible silver flakes, and pearl dust.
- Serve chilled and slice through the silky lemon-blueberry cheesecake mousse to reveal the vibrant blueberry jewel center hidden inside.
