Spiced chocolate crêpe gateau

Instructions

1. First, the  Chocolate clove and cinnamon crêpes.
2. Mix all the ingredients (except the egg whites) in the same order they appear on your blender. Blend well.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Time during which we can start with the chocolate mousse.
4. Just before starting with the crêpes, beat the whites until stiff.
5. Add the first half and move carefully. Add the second half.
6. Make the crêpes carefully in a hot pan adding some butter between each.
7. Reserve.
8. Chocolate mousse with ginger and orange zest.
9. Place the milk in a small sauce-pan together with the ginger. Boil moving constantly to avoid it from burning. Once it starts boiling, remove from heat.
10. Leave for at least 1 hour, strain and remove the ginger.
11. Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Turn off the heat.
12. Add the orange zest, milk, vanilla and cream until well combined.
13. Add the egg yolks and move until well combined.
14. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff.
15. Add 1/4 of the egg white preparation to the chocolate preparation and move carefully.
16. Add the rest once it's well mixed, carefully to avoid it from falling.
17. Take to the fridge for 1 hour. It must have a scent of both ginger and orange, if you don't feel it, add some more orange zest.
18. Final steps:
19. Place a crêpe on the dish, place mousse on top and continue until a final crêpe. Sometimes using a circular mould can help.
20. Take to the fridge for a few hours.
21. Finally, 1/2 an hour before serving take out of the fridge. Place the whipped cream on top and some cubed-orange pieces with fresh mint.
22. Serve some mousse at the base of the plate and a piece of cake on top.
