For the blueberry shell:

For the whipped cream:

Instructions

Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, bring the blueberries, honey, sugar and lemon juice to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Add the gelatin water and stir until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly then pour into ¾-inch round silicone half sphere molds. Refrigerate for one hour.
Melt the blue chocolate wafers and pour into the bottom and sides of 2-inch round silicone molds. Allow to set slightly then tip molds upside down to pour out excess. Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, mix the heavy cream and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, starting with low speed and working up to medium-high. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form then fold in vanilla.
Fill the chocolate shells two-thirds of the way with the whipped cream and top with a mini round of blueberry gelee. Place in the freezer to set for about 1 hour.
Unmold the halves. Pipe a ring of blue chocolate around the outer shell and attach two halves then press them together. Dip a tiny flower cookie cutter into some melted blue chocolate and create the top of the blueberry shape by pressing gently on the center top of the blueberry. Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes then serve.
