Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee, hot
  • 1 teaspoon gingerbread spice blend (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves)
  • 2 sheets gelatin or 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Chocolate glaze (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin: Soak gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until soft. If using gelatin powder, sprinkle it over a small amount of cold water to bloom. This ensures the mousse sets with a firm texture.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Keep it refrigerated while preparing the remaining mixture.
  3. Make the Gingerbread Latte Base: In a heatproof bowl, combine the brown sugar, egg yolks, and gingerbread spice blend. Gradually whisk in the hot espresso or strong coffee over a double boiler, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.
  4. Add Gelatin and Flavor: Remove the custard from heat. Immediately stir in the softened gelatin and vanilla extract until completely dissolved to ensure the mousse sets properly.
  5. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the gingerbread latte custard base in batches to maintain the mousse’s airy texture without deflating it.
  6. Mold and Chill: Pour the mousse evenly into silicone dome molds, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm and set.
  7. Optional Chocolate Glaze: Prepare a simple chocolate glaze, if desired, and pour it over the unmolded domes for an elegant shiny finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold equipment to whip cream faster and achieve better volume.
  • Fully bloom gelatin to avoid lumps and ensure smooth texture.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep mousse light and airy.
  • Use freshly ground spices for maximum flavor and aroma.
  • Check mousse firmness midway during refrigeration by gently pressing molds.
