How to Make Mango Passion Fruit Dome

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this gorgeous dessert:

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened.
In a saucepan, combine the mango puree, passion fruit puree, and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the softened gelatin until fully dissolved.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled fruit mixture until combined.

Melt the white chocolate and allow it to cool slightly, then fold it into the fruit and cream mixture.
Pour the mixture into a dome-shaped mold and smooth the top.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

To serve, carefully remove the dome from the mold and place it on a serving plate.
Drizzle with additional passion fruit puree and garnish as desired.
Slice and enjoy your Mango Passion Fruit Dome!
