Ingredients

• Matcha powder - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Heavy cream - 1 cup (240ml)
• Erythritol - 3 tablespoons (36g)
• Egg yolks - 2 large
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
• Gelatin powder - 1 teaspoon (3g)
• Water - 2 tablespoons (30ml)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and erythritol together until they are pale and creamy.
3. In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Add the matcha powder and vanilla extract to the warm cream mixture, whisking until smooth.
5. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
6. Once combined, let the mixture cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
7. In a clean mixing bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form.
8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha mixture until fully combined and there are no streaks.
9. Divide the mousse into two serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
