Method

  • STEP 1

  • STEP 2

    Melt the white chocolate over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave. Remove from the heat and stir in the ground cloves, ginger and mixed spice. Fold the chocolate through the whisked egg whites with a spatula until combined.

  • STEP 3

    Whisk the double cream to soft peaks. Fold the chocolate mixture into the cream.

  • STEP 4

    Divide half the crushed biscuits between 6 x 200ml glasses. Put a large spoonful of the mousse into each. Scatter the remaining biscuits and then divide the remaining mousse between the glasses. Chill for at least 2 hours. Serve each with a gingerbread man.
