Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 6 oz white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over low heat until steaming, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth; set aside to cool.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tsp gelatin powder over 2 tbsp cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Heat the gelatin mixture gently until melted, about 15 seconds in the microwave, then stir into the cooled white chocolate mixture.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk 1 tsp matcha green tea powder with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  5. Step 5: Whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks. Divide whipped cream into two equal parts.
  6. Step 6: Fold one half of the whipped cream gently into the white chocolate mixture until smooth, then spoon half the mixture into serving glasses.
  7. Step 7: Mix the matcha powder mixture with the other half of the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth. Layer this matcha mousse on top of the white chocolate layer.
  8. Step 8: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until fully set before serving.
