Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Latte Mousse Domes
  1. Begin by blooming the gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes. Heat espresso, brown sugar, and spices over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Stir in bloomed gelatin and melted white chocolate. Cool to room temperature.
  2. In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Whip until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Fold cooled espresso mixture into whipped cream gently to maintain airiness.
  3. Prepare silicone molds by greasing. Spoon mousse into molds filling them two-thirds full. Press a cookie base into each dome until submerged. Freeze overnight.
  4. Heat white chocolate and condensed milk on low until melted and smooth. Optional: add food coloring. Cool to 90°F before pouring over frozen domes.
  5. Remove domes from molds, place on a cooling rack over a baking tray. Pour glaze evenly over each dome. Let set and refrigerate until serving. Garnish if desired.
