Gingerbread Wafer

Mulled Wine Reduction

Smoked Maple Mousse

Method

Gingerbread Wafer

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wafer Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, and brown sugar. Add melted butter, egg, and molasses, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Roll and Bake

    Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick, cut into desired shapes, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool.

Poached Apple

  1. 3

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 4

    Poach the Apples

    Core and slice apples as desired. Add apples to the poaching liquid and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let cool in the liquid.

Mulled Wine Reduction

  1. 5

    Make the Reduction

    In a saucepan, combine red wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, and cloves. Simmer until reduced by half, about 20-25 minutes. Strain and set aside.

Smoked Maple Mousse

  1. 6

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in smoked maple syrup and vanilla extract.

  3. 8

    Combine and Set

    Heat the bloomed gelatin until dissolved, then fold it into the whipped cream mixture. Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
