- Can I use store-bought juice?
- Yes, but check ingredients. 100% juice is best; sweetened drinks make it too sweet.
Pomegranate Mousse Cake
The mousse starts with pomegranate juice stabilized by gelatin, then lightened with whipped cream. It's a delicate balance: too much juice and it collapses; too much gelatin and it's rubbery. The result is a pink, cloud-light cream vibrating with fruit acidity.
