Add 3 tsp of gelatin powder to 3 tbsp of cold water. Mix well and set aside to bloom.
Combine 100ml water, 170ml heavy cream, 180g sugar, 20g Dutch cocoa powder, 50g dark cocoa powder and *optional* 2g instant coffee in a heavy bottom pan and whisk until well mixed.
Put the glaze mixture on medium heat and bring to a brisk boil for 2 min. Take off heat and and add in the bloomed gelatin. Sieve to remove any lumps. Set the glaze aside to cool until about 38C - 40C
Once the glaze is almost cooled to 38C un-mould the frozen mousse cake (note: the mousse cake must be glazed frozen) Transfer the frozen cake to a baking rack placed over a lined tray. Glaze the cake evenly from the middle. Rotate the rack if necessary and glaze the sides well.
Have a wooden skewer on hand to prick any visible air bubbles and gently glaze over. Work briskly as the glaze will start to thicken and set. Once the cake is glazed, let it drip for a minute. Then using two off-set spatulas to hold the base, carefully transfer the cake onto a plate.
I decorated with a sprinkle of silver and rose gold dust and a final touch of gold leaf for a cosmic effect. Chill the mousse cake in the fridge and let it thaw until ready to serve. Enjoy.
