Notes
Tip: For a more intense matcha flavor, increase the amount of matcha powder to 3 tablespoons.
For the best flavor, choose high-quality matcha powder, as it significantly influences the taste. If you’re looking for a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for a tangy twist.
These mousse cups can be prepared a day in advance, making them perfect for any gathering. Just be sure to store them in the refrigerator until serving. Garnish with whipped cream or shaved white chocolate for an extra touch of elegance!
