Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine ground chocolate graham crackers with melted butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Bloom the unflavored gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes. Dissolve the gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until melted. Melt white chocolate with milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Whisk in gelatin and peppermint oil.
- Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until medium-stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Fold a dollop into chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
- Spoon the peppermint mousse mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Remove from heat, add bittersweet chocolate, stirring until smooth. Stir in light corn syrup and warm water until fully combined.
- Pour warm glaze over the mousse carefully, tilting for even coverage. Let sit for about 1 hour at room temperature to set before slicing and serving.

Notes
