1

Prepare the base by crushing the spéculoos and mixing with melted butter and 75g of dark chocolate. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 22cm mold.

2

For the chocolate mousse, melt 225g of dark chocolate and let it cool slightly.

3

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of sugar until pale and creamy.

4

In another bowl, beat the mascarpone until smooth and fold in the egg yolk mixture and the melted chocolate.

5

In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the chocolate mixture.

6

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the chocolate mixture.

7

Pour the mousse over the spéculoos base and refrigerate until set.

8

For decoration, whip 50ml of cream and mix with 50g of mascarpone. Spread this over the set mousse and garnish with chocolate coffee beans and a dusting of cocoa powder.
