Chicken Farm Bakers' Project # 7: Always together? Yes, we are new couple! White Chocolate and Sesame Chiffon Roll

February is the month of LOVE, so Chicken Farm Bakers' Project # 7: Always together- The host (my dear friend, Bua) want us to pair the ingredients, the couple that will be great together. Actually, there are many couple in this baking world, orange and chocolate, strawberry and cream etc. But for me, I want to try something different, sesame and white chocolate!

The black sesame seed has its own special fragrance, and the nutty flavor, while the white chocolate has a mild and sweet flavor. So when they are together, they become great couple.
I choose the chiffon to be the base of this recipe because the sesame seed can be too heavy for sponge and it's easy to make.
The white chocolate mousse is very easy to make too, just remember to bloom the gelatin before melting the chocolate, (I made this mistake before so, don't want you to make it too, haha)
So, this month of love, let me introduce you to our new lovely couple "white chocolate and black sesame seeds", hope their love are forever too.

Make the white chocolate mousse:

Pour the melted chocolate over the softened gelatin, mixing well. Let the gelatin and chocolate cool slightly
