How to Make Green Tea Mousse

  1. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin over 4 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  3. Heat 1 cup (240ml) whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and gently whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  4. Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder with 3 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Add the matcha mixture to the egg and milk mixture, stirring gently to combine. Place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water and stir until the mixture is completely cool.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the green tea mixture.
  8. Pour the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
