Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup espresso
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons ginger
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin in a small bowl of cold water.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of warm espresso and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add white chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone and heavy cream, beating until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in the cooled mousse base until smooth and fluffy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Add molasses and egg yolk, stirring until a soft dough forms. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into circles.
- Grease silicone dome molds and fill with mousse, leaving space at the top. Press cookie rounds into the mousse until just submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
- Once frozen solid, heat glazing ingredients until warm (around 90°F). Remove mousse domes from molds and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Pour warm glaze over the domes.
- Transfer glazed domes to a serving plate and decorate with cocoa powder or mini gingerbread cookies, if desired.
Notes
Make sure the glaze is warm enough for an even coating.
For a different flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of white.
