Apple Mousse Dessert with Surprise Filling

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling:

• 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

For the Apple Mousse:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup water

For the Red Glaze:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup water
• 7 oz white chocolate, chopped
• Red food coloring

For Decoration:

• Small chocolate sticks (for stems)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apple Filling:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
   • Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes.
   • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the filling thickens, about 2 minutes.
   • Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Prepare the Apple Mousse:
   • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
   • Melt the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10 seconds until it becomes liquid.
   • Gently fold the melted gelatin into the whipped cream mixture until well combined.
3. Assemble the Desserts:
   • Fill half-sphere silicone molds halfway with the apple mousse.
   • Place a spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each mold.
   • Fill the rest of the mold with the apple mousse, covering the apple filling completely.
   • Smooth the tops and freeze the molds until the mousse is firm, about 2 hours.
4. Prepare the Red Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and sweetened condensed milk.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
   • Pour the hot mixture over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes.
   • Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
   • Add red food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
   • Let the glaze cool to about 95°F (35°C) before using.
5. Glaze the Desserts:
   • Remove the frozen mousse domes from the silicone molds.
   • Place the domes on a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch excess glaze.
   • Pour the red glaze over the domes, covering them completely.
   • Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.
6. Decorate:
   • Insert a small chocolate stick into the top of each dome to resemble an apple stem.
   • Transfer the glazed desserts to a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.
