Instructions

Bloom gelatin by soaking in a small bowl of cold water. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of warm espresso with 1/2 cup brown sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Add 1 cup white chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Stir until the mixture is smooth, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup mascarpone and 1 cup heavy cream. Beat until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Fold the cooled mousse base into the whipped cream until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Fold in 1/2 cup molasses and 1 egg yolk until a soft dough forms. Roll out and cut circles for the cookie base.
Grease silicone dome molds and fill each with the mousse mixture, leaving a bit of space. Press cookie circles into the mousse until just submerged. Cover and freeze overnight.
Once frozen, warm the glazing ingredients to about 90°F. Remove mousse domes from molds and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Pour the warm glaze over the domes evenly.
Transfer the glazed domes onto a serving plate. Garnish with cocoa powder or mini gingerbread cookies if desired.

Notes

Ensure the glazing ingredients are at the right temperature for proper coating.
You may substitute mascarpone with cream cheese if desired.
Gently fold the mousse ingredients to keep it light and fluffy.
