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 Basic Genoise and cut into desired size.
Mix the simple syrup and Crème de cacao together.


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.
Fold 1/3 of the whipping cream into white chocolate mixture.
Pour the white chocolate mixture back into the whipped cream bowl, fold to combine.


 Pipe the white chocolate mousse into the mold, half way, then pipe the soft chocolate ganache into the mousse, and cover with the white chocolate mousse.
Freeze until firm.
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.

Make Matcha mousse

 Bloom the gelatin in cold water.
Stir together the matcha, egg yolks and sugar. Boil the milk, then pour it in the egg yolk mixture, beat all the time until fully combine.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring all the time. until the temperature reaches 82°C.
Stir in the gelatin, wait until cool completely.

Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Fold 1/3 of the whipping cream into green tea mixture.
Pour the green tea mixture back into the whipped cream bowl, fold to combine.



Make the Matcha milk glaze
  In a sauce pan, put the sugar and water together, and bring to boil over medium low heat.
Meanwhile boil the whipping cream and milk together, then turn off the heat.
When the syrup reaches 110°C, take the pan out of the heat and slowly pour into the whipping cream pan, stir constantly until combine.
Pour the glucose syrup and nappage into the pan, put the pan over low heat stir until combine.
Take the pan out of the heat and stir in the gelatin.


Mix in the  Green Tea Liqueur and green food coloring. Let it cool.



Assemble:
Pipe the matcha mousse into the mold, place the white chocolate mousse into the center.

  3. Hi, Siew
    You can make it by yourself too, but using strained apricot preserve is a good substitute too.

  9. Hi, can i make this mousse ahead of time and keep in fridge for hours? will it melt?
    also, do you glaze the mousse once you unmold it from the mould, or wait until the mousse soften and then glaze?

  10. Hi,
    If you keep it in the refrigerator, the mousse won't melt but it will firm up and you won't be able to pour it into the mold. You can make the base of the mousse (the custard part) ahead of time, but don't add the gelatin. When you want to use it, bloom the gelatin and warm the custard, then stir in the gelatin.

    I wait until it soften a bit and glaze it.

    1. You can use the same amount of the gelatine powder for gelatine sheet. For the water and you need 3times of the volumes of the gelatine (ex. 1tsp gelatine you will need 3tsp water).

    1. You can use it for making this entrements, ^^.
      Don't need to grease it before using. Follow the method above, but using blowtorch to warm the moulds then remove the entrements from the moulds.
