Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 leaves fresh mint, or more to taste
¼ cup water
8 ounces white chocolate baking bar, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
2 egg whites

Steps:

  • Crush mint leaves in a small saucepan and add water; bring to a near boil, lower heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain mint leaves from water and measure 3 tablespoons mint water. Reserve any remaining mint water for another use.
  • Mix white chocolate, 3 tablespoons mint water, and matcha on top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow white chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream in a bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold into white chocolate mixture.
  • Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form; fold into white chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Divide mousse among 6 dessert cups and chill until set, at least 1 hour.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mousse didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of heavy cream. It worked perfectly and the mousse was still delicious.

This mousse is a great way to use up leftover green tea. I always have some leftover after making matcha, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, so I used less than the recipe called for. It was still delicious, but I think I would have preferred it with more mint.
