So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so picture this: It was my best friend’s birthday, and I wanted to make something that looked like I was a total pro (when really, I just Googled “fancy desserts”). I whipped this up, and everyone was like, “OMG where did you buy this?!” I just smiled, acted all cool, and said, “Oh, you know, just a little something I threw together.” 😂 But really, it was kind of a breeze once you get the hang of it. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter. It’s like, “What’s that fancy dessert?” and I’m like, “Just my Coconut Dome, ya know?” 😏

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

(Another beautiful shot because we can’t get enough!)

Here’s that gorgeous coconut dome again, just because it deserves the spotlight! 💖

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen up! When you’re whipping that heavy cream, make SURE your bowl is cold. Like, ice-cold. Throw it in the freezer for a few minutes before you start. It makes a *huge* difference. Trust me on this one; I’ve learned the hard way (like, soupy mousse disaster—no thanks!).

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Gelatin sheets: If you soak them too long, they’re just a soggy mess. But if you don’t soak them enough, they won’t set. So, like, 5-10 minutes is perfect!
– Baking time: Don’t just walk away and forget about them! Set a timer or something. Nudge your oven door open at 10 minutes, and check it. You want those shortbreads to be just right—not burnt offerings!
– Let them cool: Seriously, let them chill out for a bit after baking. If you try to assemble too soon, it’ll be a melty mess!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (which, honestly, is a miracle), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. But let’s be real, they probably won’t last long. It’s like, once you start, you can’t stop. 😩

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

If you’re into this vibe, you’ll definitely want to try:
– Chocolate Lava Cakes: Because why not have gooey goodness all the time?
– Mango Sticky Rice: It’s tropical, it’s sweet, and it’s just heavenly!
– Banana Bread: A classic, but you can jazz it up with chocolate chips or walnuts!

So, what do you think? Are you gonna give this a whirl, or what? Can’t wait to hear if you try it! 🙌🍽️

Instructions

Prepare the coconut mousse the day before: whip heavy cream and mascarpone in a chilled bowl, gradually adding powdered sugar. Chill.
Soak Vegan Gelatin sheets in cold water. Heat coconut milk, remove from heat, add squeezed gelatin, and let cool slightly. Fold into whipped cream.
Pour mousse into hemisphere molds, adding a teaspoon of cocoa spread halfway. Smooth and freeze for at least 6 hours.
For the Breton shortbreads, mix all ingredients until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out to about an inch thick, cut circles, and bake at 180°C for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Remove domes from molds and place on shortbreads. Thaw for 2 hours at room temperature and sprinkle with grated coconut.
