Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Eggnog Mousse
- Prepare the Gingerbread Streusel by pulsing gingerbread cookies in a food processor until coarsely ground. Combine with melted unsalted butter, mix and spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it hydrate. In a saucepan, whisk together milk and eggnog, adding spices. Heat until it begins to boil, then remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together remaining milk, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually pour in the hot milk mixture, whisking continuously.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat, whisking until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin until dissolved. Strain into a bowl and cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Once the egg mixture is cool, gently fold it into the whipped cream.
- Pipe the Eggnog Mousse into jars, layering with Gingerbread Streusel. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. Garnish before serving.
