Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup Strong Brewed Espresso Enhances the gingerbread flavor; always use espresso for a rich coffee experience.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Adds depth and sweetness; white sugar can work in a pinch but will change the flavor profile.
  • 8 ounces White Chocolate Creates a luxurious texture; a dairy-free version can be substituted for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Infuses warming spices; feel free to adjust based on your flavour preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves Infuses warming spices; feel free to adjust based on your flavour preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg Infuses warming spices; feel free to adjust based on your flavour preferences.
  • 8 ounces Mascarpone Cheese Contributes a creamy and light texture; cream cheese can replace it, but the mousse may become denser.
  • 1 tablespoon Molasses Provides the essential gingerbread flavor; omitting it will significantly alter the taste.
  • 2 large Egg Yolk Binds the cookie dough for tenderness; for a vegan option, use a flax egg while maintaining moisture balance.
For the Cookie Base
  • 2 cups Gingerbread Cookie Dough Ingredients Use the right ratios to ensure a cookie that will hold the dome shape.
For the Mirror Glaze
  • 1 batch Glaze Ingredients Essential for that shiny finish; ensure all components are at the right temperatures for perfect results.

Equipment

  • Silicone dome molds
  • electric mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Parchment-lined baking sheet

Method
 

Prepare the Mousse
  1. Bloom the gelatin according to the package instructions. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strong brewed espresso with brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and mix in the melted white chocolate. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Whip the Cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside gently.
Combine Mixtures
  1. Gradually fold the cooled espresso mixture into the whipped cream, preserving the airiness.
Prepare the Cookie Base
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the gingerbread cookie dough ingredients until combined. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness and cut out shapes slightly larger than your dome molds.
Cut and Bake Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookie rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Assemble Domes
  1. Spoon the mousse into the silicone molds, fill halfway, press a cookie round into each mold, and freeze overnight.
Glaze the Domes
  1. Prepare the mirror glaze, heat to around 90°F (32°C), pour over the frozen mousse domes, and let excess drip off.
