- Can I use shop-bought pomegranate juice?
- Yes, but check the ingredients. 100% juice is best, sugared drinks will make the mousse too sweet.
Pomegranate Mousse Cake
The mousse here starts from pomegranate juice, which is stabilised with gelatine, then lightened with whipped cream. This is a delicate balance: if there is too much juice, the foam collapses; if too much gelatine, it becomes rubbery. The result is a pink, cloud-light cream that vibrates with the acidity of the fruit.
