Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 6 oz butter
• 8 oz chocolate
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp instant espresso powder
• 5 oz sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2.25 oz all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt

• FOR THE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE:

• 9 oz semi-sweet chocolate
• ¾ cup International Delight Chocolate Caramel Creamer
• Pinch salt
• 1 packet unflavored powdered gelatin
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 cup heavy cream

• FOR THE MIRROR GLAZE:

• 10 ½ oz sugar
• 3 packets unflavored powdered gelatin
• 9 oz water
• 12 oz white chocolate
• 7 oz sweetened condensed milk

Steps

• Step 1

  Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil, and oil it.

• Step 2

  Combine the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Melt them together in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. Once melted and smooth, let it cool to room temperature.

• Step 3

  Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then whisk in the instant espresso, vanilla, and granulated sugar. Continue to whisk until the texture smooths and thickens and the batter becomes glossy, like pudding. Finally, add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir in gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.

• Step 4

  Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Bake the brownies for 20 minutes.

• Step 5

  Let the brownies cool.

• Step 6

  Place the brownie circles on a covered baking sheet and freeze.

• NOW, CHOCOLATE MOUSSE:

• Step 1

  Combine the chopped chocolate, International Delight creamer, and salt. Microwave in 30-second increments, whisking every 30 seconds, until the chocolate has melted. Let it cool.

• Step 2

  Whisk together the gelatin and the cold water, let the gelatin absorb the water.

• Step 3

  Whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream to firm peaks.

• Step 4

  Microwave the bowl of gelatin for 10-12 seconds, until it is melted. Whisk the melted gelatin and chocolate mixture together.

• Step 5

  Fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate, and once it’s incorporated, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream.

• Step 6

  Use a large spoon to fill the half-sphere cavities, leaving about a half-inch of space at the top. Move the spoon around as you fill them to make sure the mousse is evenly distributed and there are no air pockets that will show up later.

• Step 7

  Take a frozen brownie round and press it on top of the mousse, pressing firmly so the mousse comes up around the sides of the brownie. Use a spatula to smooth around the edges.

• Step 8

  Place the silicone molds on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, until VERY firm.

• NOW, GLAZE:

• Step 1

  Whisk together the gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl, let the gelatin absorb the water.

• Step 2

  Combine the remaining 5 oz water, sugar, and condensed milk, and place the pan over medium heat. Stir while the sugar dissolves, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

• Step 3

  Once it is simmering steadily, remove it from the heat and add the gelatin. Whisk the gelatin as the heat from the pan dissolves it, and whisk until it is almost entirely incorporated.

• Step 4

  Add the white chocolate to the pan, and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is very smooth.

• Step 5

  Pick your glaze colors and mix them with the glaze. Try several color variations.

• Step 6

  Let the bowls set until they cool. Stir the bowls occasionally as they cool, so they don’t form a skin on top.

• Step 7

  Remove the mousse cakes from the freezer. Set small jars or cups on the sheet of parchment for the mousse cakes to balance on.

• Step 8

  In a bowl, pour about 1/3 cup of one of your base colors of glaze, then drizzle the top of it with a few other colors. Stir a little. Take this bowl of glaze and pour it over one of the cakes. Repeat with other cakes.

• Step 9

  Let the cakes cool and settle for about 15 minutes.
