For the chocolate gelatine:
Soak the gelatine in three tablespoons of water for three minutes.
Heat the milk and dissolve the chocolate or cocoa powder in it. Stir with a whisk to integrate the ingredients well. When it starts to boil, remove it from the heat.
Add the soaked gelatine. Stir until it is completely incorporated into the milk and chocolate mixture. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Meanwhile, whip the cream with the sugar in a bowl until it thickens.
Add a little of the milk and chocolate mixture to the whipped cream, integrating it well; then gradually add the rest of the milk. Pour into a container of your choice and refrigerate.
For the Swiss meringue buttercream:
Cut the unsalted butter into portions and keep it out of the refrigerator while you carry out the other steps.
Place the egg whites and sugar in a heat-resistant bowl; place it over a double boiler. Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar grains have dissolved. To check, simply touch the mixture with your fingers and rub them together; this will tell you if the sugar grains have dissolved. Once this is achieved, remove the bowl from the double boiler and proceed to whip the mixture until the bowl is cool and the egg whites have a firm consistency and form peaks when you lift the whisk.
Add the butter gradually to the Swiss meringue. Whip constantly until the meringue looks reduced and has turned into a manageable and solid cream with which you can make any decoration you desire.
For the mint cream:
Boil the milk along with the mint leaves, cinnamon, and orange peel for three minutes. Remove from heat and take out the cinnamon and orange peel from the milk. Let the preparation cool. Blend.
Beat the egg yolk with the sugar. Dissolve the cornstarch with a little cold water and incorporate it into the egg yolk mixture.
Mix the spiced milk with the egg yolk mixture with cornstarch and bring to heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and remove from the heat.
For the coffee syrup:
Mix all the ingredients, bring to low heat and let reduce.
