Preparation
- Bloom the gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes until it softens.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine espresso, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, stirring until dissolved.
- Remove from heat, add chopped white chocolate, and mix until melted.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whip together mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled espresso mixture into the whipped cream without deflating the mousse.
- Spoon the mousse mixture into dome molds, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Press a round of gingerbread cookie into the mousse until well embedded.
- Place the molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
- Prepare the mirror glaze by combining water, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan; heat gently until fully combined.
- Pour the warm mirror glaze over the domes, let excess drip off, and allow to set for about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the domes to serving plates, optional dust with cocoa powder or sprinkle with edible glitter.
