Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin in a small bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes. In a saucepan over low heat, combine espresso, brown sugar, ground spices, and gelatin. Stir until dissolved, then add white chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- Whip the mascarpone and heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 3–5 minutes). Fold in the cooled espresso mixture gently, maintaining airiness.
- Mix flour, spices, molasses, softened butter, and egg yolk until a soft dough forms. Roll out to ¼ inch thick and cut circles for silicone molds. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until firm but not overly browned.
- Fill silicone dome molds three-quarters full with mousse, pressing a cookie circle into each mold. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the mirror glaze according to recipe instructions at about 90°F (32°C). Unmold mousse domes and pour glaze over them evenly.
- Let the glazed domes set in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cocoa or mini gingerbread cookies.

Notes
