Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Raspberry Mousse: In a saucepan, gently heat raspberry purée until warm. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale, then mix into purée. Stir over simmering water until thickened, then add softened gelatine and milk. Freeze in dome molds for at least 2 hours.
  2. Make Chocolate Mousse: Warm milk, dissolve gelatine, then melt dark chocolate. Mix warm milk into chocolate and cool slightly. Whip cream and fold into the mixture.
  3. Create Tuiles: Preheat oven to 180°C. Mix melted butter, flour, sugar, and cocoa until smooth. Spoon onto lined baking sheet, bake until bubbling and firm. Cool completely.
  4. Assemble Domes: Once raspberry mousse is set, fill molds with chocolate mousse, insert raspberry mousse, then top with more chocolate. Place sponge cake disc on top, freeze overnight.
  5. Glaze: Melt dark chocolate, combine with corn syrup and water, cool until thickened, then pour over frozen domes. Let set in fridge.
  6. Decorate: Garnish with framboise-soaked raspberries and tuile shards just before serving. Serve chilled.
