01
Step 1
Start by dissolving the gelatin in 4 tablespoons of hot water and set it aside to bloom. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and egg yolks until smooth. Warm the milk gently over low heat for about 5 minutes, then stir in the gelatin mixture until it’s fully dissolved—be careful not to let the milk get too hot. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 2
Next, mix the green tea powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water until it forms a smooth paste. To cool the mixture quickly, place the bowl with the gelatin and matcha over a larger bowl filled with ice water, stirring as it chills. Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream until it’s thick but not quite forming peaks—about 3 minutes.

Step 3
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled matcha mixture until everything is well combined. Spoon the mousse evenly into glasses or serving dishes, then pop them into the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

How to serve
Serve chilled in small glass cups or ramekins. Garnish with a dusting of matcha powder or a few fresh berries for a pop of color. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of green tea or light jasmine tea.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the mousse covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for the best texture and taste. Avoid freezing, as it can change the mousse’s silky consistency.
