  5. Add ginger, cinnamon, coffee, and vanilla extract to the mixture and combine well.

  2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Prepare the Glaze (Optional)
  1. Heat the cream until just boiling and pour over chopped white chocolate in a bowl.
  2. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
Unmould and Finish
  1. Carefully flex the silicone mold to release the mousse domes.
  2. Drizzle or dip the domes in the glaze if using, then allow to set briefly.
