5. Stir the mango puree into the warm milk mixture.
6. Let cool to room temperature.
7. Whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold into the mango mixture.
8. Pour into half-sphere molds (silicone or bowl), chill for at least 4 hours.
9. Cut a circle from each cake slice (slightly larger than the domes).
10. Mix apricot jam with lemon juice, brush onto the cake circles.
11. Unmold the bavarois domes onto the cake circles.
12. Place a strawberry on each dome as an 'energy point'.
13. Decorate with red stars or sugar pearls to mimic Dragon Ball stars.
14. Arrange the domes on a long platter, like a parade of Dragon Balls.

Serving notes

• Serve on a long, narrow platter for the parade effect.
• Scatter extra sugar pearls between the domes for extra festivity.
• Provide extra spoons so everyone can share.
