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.

Tip: Basic technique.

Tip: Decorate before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use shop-bought pomegranate juice?
Yes, but check the ingredients. 100% juice is best, sugared drinks will make the mousse too sweet.
