Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a heatproof bowl, add the white chocolate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Remove the cream from the heat and immediately whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Sift the matcha green tea powder into the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and set the bowl aside to cool to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the cream to soft peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled matcha mixture in three additions, ensuring everything is well combined but still fluffy.
Spoon the green tea mousse into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve the mousse chilled, optionally garnished with a light dusting of matcha powder or white chocolate shavings.
