These Gingerbread Latte Mousse Domes combine the cozy flavors of a holiday latte with the elegance of a mousse dessert. Featuring warm spices, coffee-infused mousse, and a spiced base, they are finished with a glossy glaze and perfect for festive gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese or mascarpone (optional)
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 oz white chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped
  • 6 small rounds of spiced gingerbread cake, biscuit, or cookie
  • Neutral glaze or mirror glaze (optional for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin in cold espresso or coffee for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently heat the coffee, bloomed gelatin, sugar, and spices until dissolved and smooth.
  3. Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly before mixing with the coffee-spice mixture.
  4. Whip the cream (and optional mascarpone) to soft peaks and fold into the cooled chocolate mixture.
  5. Pour the mousse into silicone dome molds, leaving space at the bottom.
  6. Press a small round of gingerbread cake or biscuit into each mold as the base.
  7. Freeze the domes until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Unmold the frozen domes and glaze or decorate as desired.
  9. Refrigerate domes for 2 hours to thaw gently before serving.

Notes

  • Can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the freezer.
  • Substitute espresso with chai or milk for a different flavor profile.
  • Use agar-agar as a vegetarian gelatin alternative (adjust quantity).
  • Domes can also be made in ramekins if molds are unavailable.
  • Add a caramel or coffee gel center for extra flair.
