Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a very cold mixing bowl, whip together 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of mascarpone until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/3 cup of powdered sugar and whip for an additional minute. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
  2. Soak 3 gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened. Gently heat 1 cup of coconut milk in a small saucepan until warm. Squeeze excess water from the gelatin and mix into the coconut milk. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Pour the coconut mousse mixture into hemisphere molds, adding a teaspoon of chocolate spread to each dome and covering with more mousse. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of softened butter until a dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 180°C, roll out the dough, cut into circles, and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the coconut mousse from the molds and place each dome atop a cooled Breton shortbread base. Allow them to thaw for about 2 hours, garnish with toasted coconut, and serve.
