Then add the cream and mascarpone mixture and stir until smooth. When all the bowls are ready mixed you can start filling the springform. The sequence starts with bowl 5 andends with bowl 1. Pour the mixture of each bowl slowly into the middle of the pan. Thus the individual circles result from white (outside) to dark green (in the middle). The finished cake is now frozen for at least four hours in the refrigerator. Tips: The milk, mascarpone and yoghurt for the mousse should have the best room temperature. This makes it easier to work with and the gelatin does not absorb so quickly. To get even circles with the Matcha mousse, the mousse must not be too liquid and not too firm. The best she should have already become something viscous. So that you get the cake better out of the mold later, just use a hair dryer to briefly heat the edge of the springform or cake ring around it. For a large Springform 26cm diameter you need for the matcha mousse double the amount of ingredients.
