tbsp cold water; rest 5 minutes.

Make the cookie base: Mix cookie crumbs with melted

butter (and sugar if using) until like wet sand; press into

a thin layer in 6–8 silicone half-sphere molds (or press

into rings on parchment) and chill.

Bloom gelatin for mousse: Sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp gelatin over

4 tbsp cold water; let stand 5 minutes.

Melt chocolate: Warm 3/4 cup heavy cream until

steaming (not boiling), pour over 7 oz chopped

chocolate, rest 1 minute, then whisk smooth.

Microwave the bloomed gelatin 10–15 seconds until

liquid; whisk into the warm chocolate mixture, then stir in

vanilla and salt. Let cool until just barely warm.

Whip remaining cream: Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2

tbsp sugar to soft peaks.

Fold mousse: Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the

whipped cream in 2–3 additions until silky.

Fill molds: Spoon mousse halfway into dome molds,

press a frozen raspberry center into each, then cover with

more mousse and smooth the top.

Add the base: Press chilled cookie bases onto the

mousse (this becomes the bottom) and freeze until rock-

solid. (Freeze time: 4–6 hours.)

Make the glaze: Heat 1/2 cup cream until steaming, pour

over 4 oz chopped chocolate, rest 1 minute, then whisk

smooth; stir in corn syrup if using. Cool 5–10 minutes

until thick but pourable.

Glaze and serve: Unmold frozen domes onto a rack or

plate and spoon glaze over tops; refrigerate to thaw

before serving. (Thaw time: 1–2 hours.)
