enough to coat the back of a spoon.

⠀

🧈 Whisk in cold butter cubes until silky, then strain and

chill the curd for 1 hour until firm.

⠀

💧 Bloom 2 tsp gelatin in 3 tbsp cold water and let sit for

5 minutes until spongy.

⠀

🥣 Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, sour cream,

vanilla bean paste, blood orange zest, and lemon juice

until silky.

⠀

🔥 Warm the bloomed gelatin until liquid, then stream

into the cheesecake mixture while folding.

⠀

🥄 Half-fill silicone dome molds with cheesecake, press

a halved blood orange slice with a spoonful of curd into

the center.

⠀

❄️ Cap with more cheesecake, smooth the surface, and

freeze the bombs for 4 hours until completely solid.

⠀

🥐 Toast panko and graham cracker crumbs with melted

butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a pan until

deeply golden.

⠀

🌟 Roll each frozen bomb firmly in the breadcrumb

coating, drizzle with blood orange syrup, and crown with

edible flowers, micro mint, and zest.
