Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well blended, then press firmly into a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until set, then allow to cool completely.
Bloom Gelatin
- In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over two tablespoons of cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Microwave for 10-15 seconds until liquid, stirring until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
Make the Mousse
- Using a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt white chocolate chips until smooth. Remove heat and mix in milk. Fold in dissolved gelatin and peppermint oil, ensuring temperature is below 85°F. Set aside to cool.
Whip Cream
- In a mixing bowl, add heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes). Gently fold whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture, maintaining lightness.
Fill Tart Shell
- Spoon the mousse into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare Glaze
- In a small saucepan, heat cream until bubbling around edges. Stir in bittersweet chocolate until smooth. Add light corn syrup and very warm water, mixing until glossy.
Glaze Tart
- Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the mousse filling, allowing it to flow over the edges. Let the tart set at room temperature for about 1 hour before slicing.

Notes
Chill overnight for the best flavor and texture. Use high-quality ingredients for a richer taste. Monitor temperatures to prevent texture issues while preparing the mousse.
