Trompe-l’œil fruit moulds
There are 57 products.
Silicone fruit moulds let you make desserts that look like real fruit: a lemon made of lemon mousse, a cherry with a chocolate centre or a hazelnut filled with praline. In patisserie these creations are called trompe-l'œil desserts, made famous by pastry chefs such as Cédric Grolet. Here you will find silicone moulds shaped like fruit, nuts and vegetables, many of them by Silikomart.

How to make a trompe-l'œil dessert
Fill the mould with mousse, add an insert of compote, jelly or ganache and freeze everything. Then release the fruit from the mould and coat it with Mirror glaze or velvet spray in the right colour. Use our Silicone insert mould for the insert; more moulds for mousses and entremets are in Dessert silicone mould.
Frequently asked questions
Why freeze the dessert in the mould?
Frozen mousse keeps its shape when you unmould it and can be glazed evenly. After glazing, the desserts thaw in the fridge.
Which temperatures can the moulds take?
The silicone moulds are food-safe and, depending on the model, can be used from about −60 °C to +230 °C, so they work in the freezer and in the oven, for example for sponge or small cakes in fruit shape.
What does trompe-l'œil mean?
It is French for «deceives the eye»: desserts that at first glance look like fruit, nuts or vegetables.
