Crust
1 cup of cocoa powder
2/3 cup of confectioner's sugar
12 eggs
10 egg whites
Mousse
2 cups of milk
2 cups of heavy cream, whisked
11/4 cup of confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves or hortelΓ£
2 tablespoons of peppermint extract
6 eggs
5 sheets of unflavored gelatin
Accessories
Medium-sized baking sheet lined with parchment paper, greased and floured
20 cm diameter ring (to cut the crust)
22 cm diameter by 4.5 cm high ring
Preheat the oven to a high temperature
Beat five egg whites with half of the confectioner's sugar until stiff peaks form
Add six eggs and, subsequently, half of the cocoa powder
Mix until uniform
Place in the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes
Repeat the process to make the rest of the crust
Unmold
Cut two strips of 3.5 cm width and, with the smaller ring, two circles from the crust
Mousse
Boil the milk, mint, and half a cup of confectioner's sugar for 5 minutes
While this is happening, soak the gelatin sheets in half a cup of water
They need to be soft for 5 minutes
Strain the mint infusion, add it to the eggs and the rest of the confectioner's sugar, and cook over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened
Remove from the heat before it boils
Squeeze out the gelatin sheets with your hands and add them to the infusion
Also add the extract and mix
When cooled, add the whisked heavy cream and mix delicately
Assembly
Grease the larger ring with oil and dust with confectioner's sugar
Place it in the center of a plate and line the inner sides with the crust strips
Arrange a disk at the bottom and cover with half of the mousse
Add the second disk and the rest of the mousse
Finish by smoothing out the surface.
