Blancvert: Matcha and white chocolate entrements

Making the entremets take a lot of time ^^, and it's a lot of happy time for me.

My family members eat less sweet lately (OK, doctor's order -*-), so rather than feeling bad that I can't make a lot of cake, I make something that use more time and elements, haha. This cake is come form my sister's idea, when I asked her what the combination that she want to eat, she said "Green tea and white chocolate" ^^.
But I want some dark chocolate in the cake, a bit of it to make the cake more interesting, so I put a soft chocolate ganache into the white chocolate mousse, and a hint of Crème de cacao in the syrup. 
Even I use a lot of time in making these, eating is not, so I think that it's a great time for me to make more entremets from now on, ^^.

Make the soft chocolate ganache:
Make the ganache by boiling the whipping cream and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Wait for 1 minutes and stir lightly to melt the chocolate.



Make the white chocolate mousse

Bloom the gelatin sheets in iced cold water. 
Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla bean, boil the 60g of whipping cream, then slowly whisk it into the egg yolk mixture. Put the saucepan over low heat, stir all the time and heat until 82°C.
Take the pan out of the heat and stir in the gelatin and white chocolate.
Let the mixture cool.

Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.

Make the Pâte sucrée:

For the pastry: put the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl, cut the butter into pieces until the mixture resemble bread crumb.

Make a well in the middle of the flour- and-butter mixture and add the egg yolk with milk. Stir to incorporate the flour evenly until you have to begin using your hand, bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Dust work surface with flour, remove the dough from the bowl and knead it on the floured surface for a few minutes until it is smooth and homogeneous.

Turn out onto a work surface. Using your hands, press the dough into a flat, round disc, Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface to 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick, place on the baking pan and pick the pastry with fork, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Line the pastry with baking paper and pour baking beads or uncooked rice over. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the paper and weights and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.

Take the pastry out of the oven and cut into desired size, (it's easier to cut it when hot). Let the pastry cool before separating into pieces.
