Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to create the gingerbread cookie dough. Add molasses and egg, mixing until smooth.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookie rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. Mix espresso with brown sugar, warming gently until dissolved. Sprinkle gelatin over warm mixture and let sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  4. Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Remove from heat, pour in bloomed gelatin and espresso mixture. Cool slightly.
  5. Whip cream to soft peaks. Beat mascarpone cheese until smooth. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone until combined.
  6. Fold cooled espresso mixture into whipped cream and mascarpone blend. Mix until smooth.
  7. Spoon mousse into silicone molds, fill halfway. Place cookie rounds on top and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  8. Heat mirror glaze to 90°F (32°C). Invert molds to release domes and pour glaze over them.
