Honey mousse with pomegranate

This honey mousse is a soft, creamy dessert made by whipping eggs and yolks with honey, then folding in whipped cream or a cream and yogurt mixture before freezing until soft-set. It’s served with a pomegranate syrup made by reducing pomegranate juice with sugar and lime juice. Fresh pomegranate seeds garnish the mousse for a fresh, tart contrast to the sweet, airy mousse.
