Instructions

  1. Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.

  3. Warm a small portion of the cream mixture and dissolve the bloomed gelatin, then fold it back into the full mixture.
  4. Mix chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar until combined. Press firmly into the base of dome molds.
  5. Fill molds with lemon cream mixture over the biscuit base. Smooth tops and freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set.

  7. Heat sugar, water, and condensed milk until fully dissolved and steaming. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin and white chocolate until smooth.
