Matcha mousse, a delightful blend of earthy matcha and creamy texture, is a favorite for tea and dessert lovers. Here’s an easy recipe to create this treat at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons high-quality matcha powder

- 200 ml heavy cream, chilled

- 3 eggs (separate yolks and whites)

- 50 grams sugar, divided

- 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

1. Prepare Matcha Base: Whisk matcha powder with 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Set aside.

2. Make Yolk Mixture: Beat egg yolks with 30 grams sugar until pale. Gently fold in the matcha paste.

3. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip chilled cream with 20 grams sugar and salt until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha-yolk mixture in three parts to maintain airiness.

5. Whip Egg Whites: Beat egg whites with remaining sugar until glossy peaks form. Fold into the mixture lightly.

6. Set: Pour into serving glasses and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
