Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the gelatin by blooming it in cold water for about 5 minutes. Heat 1 cup of espresso, adding brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg until warm. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
  2. Melt 6 ounces of white chocolate in the microwave in intervals until smooth. Stir in the warm espresso mixture and let cool slightly.
  3. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 8 ounces of mascarpone until soft peaks form, taking care not to over-whip.
  4. Gently fold the cooled espresso mixture into the whipped cream maintaining airy consistency.
  5. Spoon the mousse mixture into silicone dome molds until three-quarters full, press gingerbread cookie bases into the mousse, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  6. Warm the glaze to about 90°F, pour over frozen domes set on a rack, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Let the domes sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving on elegant plates.

Notes

Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved and adjust spices according to personal taste preferences. Use quality molds for easy release.
