Raspberry Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze - I usually don’t really fancy raspberry flavor, but if you make it into a mousse, it tastes out of this world. I also love how the mirror glaze turned out. It’s my first time using white chocolate to make a mirror glaze, and it amazingly turned out pretty shiny and glossy. For those who don’t desire using gelatins, just replace the same amount with agar agar powder.

Instructions:
• Almond Praline Crunch
1. Crush the corn flakes. Set aside.
2. In a non-stick pan, add sugar. Cover over low heat until the sugar is caramelised. Do not stir while it is caramelised. You may check the consistency while moving the pan around.
3. Off the heat. Add in salt and the roasted almond. Mix until they come together. Do this very quickly. Place the praline on a baking sheet for cooling. Break them in smaller piece and place them in a food processor. Pulse a few times until they become sand, then pulse continuously until it becomes a paste. Transfer the paste onto a bowl.
4. Add in the crushed corn flakes and the melted butter. Transfer them into a 6-inch pan, lined transparent sheet around and a non-stick parchment paper on the bottom.
5. Freeze for 30 minutes or while working on the next item.
• Raspberry Puree
1. In a pot, add the frozen raspberries and sugar.
2. Cook over medium heat until it becomes a sauce.
3. Remove from the heat. Strain the mixture.
4. Add the lemon juice, mix until combined. Set aside.
• Raspberry Jelly
1. In a small bowl, add water and gelatins.
2. Give it a quick mix and let it rest for 5 minutes to swell the gelatins.
3. Microwave the gelatins until it’s completely melted and dissolved.
4. Add the gelatins into 1 cup of raspberry puree. Mix until combined.
5. Pour on top of the praline crunch.
6. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until it’s set.
• Raspberry Mousse
1. In a small bowl, add water and gelatins. Give it a quick mix and let it rest for 5 minutes to swell the gelatins.
2. In a bowl, add white chocolate and hot whipping cream. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, stir until no lumps. If there are still lumps, pop into the microwave for a few seconds to melt and dissolve the white chocolate completely. Mix until well combined.
4. Add in the raspberry puree. Mix until well combined. Add in the bloomed and melted gelatins (microwave the bloomed gelatins earlier until melted and dissolved.) Mix until well combined.
5. In a large mixing bowl, mix the whipping cream until soft peaks. Add in the raspberry puree chocolate mixture, mix with an electric mixer for a few seconds to combine, do not over mix. Switch to a spatula to mix until well combined.
6. Place a 7-inch ring over the refrigerated praline and raspberry jelly. Then add in the raspberry mousse. Spread the surface evenly.
7. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

3. Pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate. Gently whisk it until there is no lumps. The mixture should be soft and smooth.
4. Add a few drops of red food colorings. Mix until well combined.
5. Strain the mixture. Let it cool until it reaches 35°C-37°C or until you feel it’s room temp when you touch with your palm. The mixture is ready to pour over the mousse cake.
