We’ll start with the cremeux:

4. Cook over medium heat, while stirring, until the cream thickens.
5. Off the heat, add the hydrated gelatin.
6. Wrap the bottom of a 22cm mold with cling film. Pour the cremeux inside the mold. Freeze overnight.
7. The next day, carefully cut a 14,5cm circle in the middle of the insert. Keep both parts in the freezer until use.
For the Madeleine Cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 175°C.
2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and the zests until it doubles in size.
3. Add the oil, the milk and the lemon juice. Whisk for a few seconds.
4. Add the sifted flour, the baking powder and the salt. Mix with a spatula.
5. Finally, add the melted butter.
6. Pour inside a 20cm circle and cook for 15-20min until it is golden.
For the Mousse:
1. Infuse the mint in the heated milk for at least 2h. Then, mix the milk and the leaves and strain.
2. Hydrate the gelatin.
3. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar for a few seconds.
4. Heat the infused milk.
5. Pour in 3 times over the eggs.
6. Bring everything back to the pan and cook, over medium heat, until it reaches 84°C.
7. Off the heat, add the gelatin.
8. Let the cream cool down to 30°C.
9. Whisk the full liquid cream until very soft peaks.
10. Add the mint cream to the whipped cream in several times.
11. Wrap the bottom of a 22cm mold with cling film. Add a rhodoid sheet.
12. Place the outer circle of lemon cremeux at the bottom of the mold.
13. Pour half of the mousse inside the mold.
14. Take the 14,5cm circle of lemon cremeux and place it over the mousse.
15. Pour the other half of mousse.
16. Add the madeleine cake (you can cut the top to flatten the surface if needed).
17. Freeze overnight.
For the Sponge Cake:
1. Follow the steps of this recipe: Kiwi Roll Cake
2. You just need to mix the mint leaves with the oil and the milk to have this beautiful green color.
3. Cut the sponge cake into 3,5cm wide strips after baking.

2. Bring the water and sugar to boil and cook until 103°C.
