Ingredients

For the Chocolate Mousse:

• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream

For the Matcha Mousse:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1-2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Chocolate Mousse:

1. Melt Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Whip Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks with one tablespoon of sugar until thick and pale.
3. Combine Chocolate and Yolks: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.
4. Whip Egg Whites: In another bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining tablespoon of sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold Egg Whites into Chocolate: Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two additions.
6. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Fold this into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
7. Set Mousse: Divide the chocolate mousse among serving glasses or bowls, filling them halfway. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the matcha mousse.

Matcha Mousse:

1. Sift Matcha: Sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps.
2. Whip Cream and Sugar: Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks.
3. Add Matcha: Gently fold the sifted matcha into the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
4. Layer Mousse: Spoon or pipe the matcha mousse over the chilled chocolate mousse in each glass.
5. Chill: Refrigerate the mousses for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6. Serve: Garnish with a dusting of matcha powder or chocolate shavings before serving.
