Equipment
- 1 Individual dessert cups or an 8 oz drinking glass
- 1 Microwave safe bowl or pyrex
- 1 Standing mixer or hand held mixer
Ingredients
- 16 Gingerbread snaps
- 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite bourbon + 1 tbsp [optional] if you don’t like or drink alcohol, you can cook out the alcohol or leave out
- Reserved apple juice from kid’s recipe or 1 tbsp apple or orange juice optional for the bourbon mixture
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips + 1-2 tbsp for topping
- 3 tbsp heavy cream + 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions
Instructions for Chocolate Mousse:
- Melt the chocolate chips with the 3 tbsp heavy cream in a bowl or pyrex. This is easiest done in the microwave in 10-20 second increments and mixing in between until just melted. Set aside and let cool.
- In your mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the sugar and 1/3 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form (~1-2 minutes). Add the vanilla and whisk until just combined.
- [Optional] Add a splash of bourbon if you want your dessert extra boozey.
- Fold the cooled chocolate mixture and 1/2 the whipped cream until fully combined and set in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
Instructions for Assembly:
- Combine the bourbon and apple mixture in a shallow bowl or a plate with high sides.
- Dip 2-3 ginger snaps in the bourbon mixture and layer the bottom of your dessert glass.
- Layer 1-2 heaping spoonfuls of the chocolate mousse and 1-2 heaping spoonfuls whipped cream.
- Continue layering until you reach the top of your glass. Finish with whipped cream, top with chocolate chips and enjoy!
