DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH CANDIED GINGER
Always elegant, chocolate mousse is not at all difficult to make, and it can be prepared up to two days in advance. A classic chocolate mousse gets its foamy consistency from stiffly beaten egg whites. Though many recipes call for also folding in whipped cream, this one does not, the better to savor the intense chocolate experience. It has a hint of orange liqueur, a splash of espresso and a garnish of crystallized ginger.

Steps:
- Set a medium bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. (Don't let water touch the bottom of the bowl.) Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the chocolate, butter, orange liqueur and espresso. When chocolate is completely melted, about 10 minutes, remove from heat.
- Add sugar and beat with a wire whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly, then quickly whisk in the egg yolks to incorporate.
- In a clean, dry medium bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. With a rubber spatula, stir 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten it.
- Gently fold in the remaining whites to incorporate, taking care not to deflate. (It's OK if mixture looks a little streaky.)
- Pour mixture into 4-ounce ramekins or other vessels, like teacups or wine glasses. For a large version, pour into an attractive bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days in advance.
- To serve, whip the cream to soft peaks. (Add a tablespoon of sugar and a drop of vanilla extract, if you wish.) Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and some crystallized ginger.

LEMON GINGER MOUSSE AND HOMEMADE FORTUNE COOKIE
Steps:
- For the mousse: Place the heavy cream, fresh ginger and ground ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to just under a boil. Turn off the heat and let the cream sit for about an hour. Remove from the heat and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight or up to 4 days.
- For the fortune cookie: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg whites until combined. Whisk in the melted butter, then the flour and then the ginger (or extract or spice of your choice). Place the batter in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. (The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a very flat, level baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, and liberally spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and, using the back of the spoon or an offset spatula, carefully spread the batter into a circle 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Your first few times you should probably stick to making these one at a time but once you get the hang of it, try making 2 to 3 at a time. Bake until the tuile is completely golden brown all over, 12 to 14 minutes.
- As soon as the tuile is done, remove it from the oven and immediately start to slide a spatula underneath the tuile to loosen it from the sheet. The tuile will go through several stages before it gets to its final cooled and crispy state. Directly out of the oven it is too hot and delicate to handle. After about 10 seconds it firms up enough to hold its shape so you can handle it and shape it. It stays pliable for 10 to 15 more seconds; this is your window of opportunity to work with the cookie. Once you've worked the spatula under the whole cookie, pick it up and shape into a fortune cookie. If you wait too long the cookie starts to harden and cool and then your attempt to shape it will result in a shattered mess. You can place the cookie back into the oven for a few seconds to re-warm it into a pliable state. However, with each reheating, the cookie cools down even faster so I recommend only 2 re-heatings. Use a new cool baking sheet for each batch or cool your baking sheet under cool water before reusing. If you try to spoon the batter onto a hot sheet it will immediately start to melt and become un-spreadable. Continue with all of the batter until you have 8 to 10 cookies. Let cool for 30 minutes. Cookies hold for about a day in an airtight container.
- To assemble: When you are ready to serve the mousse, strain the ginger-flavored heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Whip the cream until it holds a peak. Fold in the Lemon Curd. Divide into serving bowls and top with candied ginger and a fortune cookie.
- In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, combine the lemon juice and butter, place over medium-high heat and heat to just under a boil. In a medium, heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks until blended, then slowly whisk in the sugar until combined. Remove the lemon juice mixture from the heat and gradually whisk a little of it into the sugar/egg mixture. Continue whisking the hot liquid into the sugar/egg mixture, a little at a time, until all of it has been incorporated. When all of the hot liquid has been incorporated, return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan and return the saucepan to medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan frequently to prevent the eggs from scrambling, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon thickly. To test, draw your finger along the back of the spoon; the curd should hold the trail for a second or two before it fills. Remove the curd from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in the vanilla and salt. You should have about 3 cups. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until cold. (The curd can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

Steps:
- For the mousse: Place a medium bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on low power for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Pour the cream into the chilled bowl and whip until it holds stiff peaks. Fold one-third of the cream into the chocolate. Fold half of the remaining cream into the chocolate and then fold in the rest of the cream. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the cones: Preheat a pizzelle iron.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, butter, milk, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, salt, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Coat the pizzelle iron with the cooking spray, then close to continue heating.
- When the iron is hot, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter onto each pizzelle well. Slowly close and let cook until golden, 50 seconds to 1 minute. Immediately roll one of the cookies around a wooden cone mold, slide it off, and transfer to a rack to cool completely. Leave the other cookie(s) on the iron while you work with the first one--they will firm up if you take them off the heat. Continue cooking and rolling in this way with the remaining batter.
- Just before serving, fill a large resealable plastic bag with the mousse and snip off one corner. Dividing evenly, pipe the mousse into the cones. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put about 1-inch of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Beat the egg yolks, sugar, rum, and orange juice in a heatproof bowl that can rest in the saucepan without touching the water (we like stainless steel ones) until foamy and light, about 30 seconds. Set the bowl over the water and whip with an electric mixer or whisk, moving in a circular motion around the bowl, until the eggs thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and, with the mixers, beat in the pumpkin, spice, and salt. Continue beating until the mixture is cooled. Stir in about 1/2 the ginger.
- In another bowl, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture. Divide the mousse among 8 bowls or wine glasses, scatter the remaining ginger over the top of each, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Chill mousses for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
