Pour 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar and the corn syrup into a small, heavy saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Insert a candy thermometer.
• Meanwhile, place the egg whites into the bowl of a mixer and whip until they form soft peaks. When the sugar water has reached 250 degrees, pour it down the sides of the bowl (not directly onto the beaters) into the egg whites while continuing to whip. Add the gelatin mixture and continue to whip until the outside of the bowl is warm, but not hot, about 5 minutes, and the meringue is stiff and glossy.

To serve, drizzle each plate with raspberry syrup, and unmold the mousses in the center of each plate and serve with a dollop of mascarpone on the side.
