Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Mousse Base: Bloom gelatin in warm brewed espresso. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until dissolved. Melt white chocolate and mix in, allowing to cool slightly.
  2. Make Whipped Cream: Combine mascarpone and heavy cream; whip until soft peaks form. Fold cooled espresso mixture into the whipped cream.
  3. Prepare Cookie Base: Whisk molasses, brown sugar, and egg yolk until creamy. Mix in flour with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to form dough. Roll out and cut circles for domes.
  4. Assemble Domes: Spoon mousse into molds, fill halfway, and press cookie rounds on top to seal.
  5. Freeze Molds: Tap molds gently on counter to remove air bubbles and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  6. Glaze: Heat white chocolate and condensed milk until smooth. Unmold domes and pour glaze over each.
