  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Mix the powdered sugar with the butter, egg whites from Huevo San Juan®, orange food coloring, and pour into a piping bag with a plain tip.
  • Make small dots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for 3 minutes and set aside.
  • Separate the Huevo San Juan® pieces into egg whites and yolks. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites with ½ cup of sugar until reaching a meringue point. Set aside.
  • Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until they are fluffy and change color, gently fold in the egg whites without over-beating; using a sieve, add the flour and almond flour, and finally the melted butter.
  • Pour the previous mixture over the print and bake for 8 minutes.
  • On a cutting board, remove the parchment paper from the sponge cake, cut strips 5 cm wide and the length of your rings. Place the still warm strips in the rings forming a circle. Set aside.
  • For the crust: mix the walnuts with the butter, place at the bottom of the ring, press to form the base.
  • For the orange mousse: beat the heavy cream with the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, and food coloring, once integrated, add the gelatin in a thin stream.
  • Pour into the ring, refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
  • Unmold the mousse and decorate with chocolate leaves, candied orange, blueberries, and white chocolate.
