Easy Gingerbread Mousse

November 28, 2022 by Albion

Gingerbread is one of my favorite flavors and I wish it was easier to find outside of the Christmas season. It feels synonymous with the Christmas holidays to me although there isn’t any reason you can’t eat it any time of the year. Gingerbread doesn’t have to be cookies–this easy gingerbread mousse is full of that spicy flavor we all love but able to be eaten with a spoon. You will love how easy it is!

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1/4 cup boiling water

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
whipped cream, for garnish
1 gingerbread cookie, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

In a small bowl, stir gelatin into cold water and let stand for about 1 minute. Add boiling  water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Let cool.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine maple syrup, blackstrap molasses and vanilla extract.
Add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves to the mixture and whisk until combined.

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream to soft peaks with an electric mixer. Beat in the molasses mixture.Gradually add in the gelatin mixture while beating the whipped cream mixture at the same time with your electric mixer. Continue to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Spoon the gingerbread mousse into serving dishes (drinking glasses in my case) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Top with  whipped cream, sprinkle a crumbled cookie on top, and serve.

This easy gingerbread mousse will be the hit of the holiday season. Serve it in Christmas glasses or mugs with a gingerbread cookie. It’s a great dessert for any occasion!
Want a winter cocktail to go with your mousse? Try this spiked winter cider!
