Preparing the mold

• I am using 15cm (≒6 inches) mold.

  Line the parchment paper inside.

  Fold your parchment paper to fit your mold.

  Fold it first, and then adjust.

  If you make a nice fit, you don't have to cut off the edge of the chocolate.

  ※If you don’t have a square mold, you can use a similar size container, and if you don’t have parchment paper, you can use plastic wrap.

• Melt your chocolate over 60°C of hot water.

  ※The temperature of the hot water should not be too hot.

  You can stick in your finger 2 to 3 seconds and you can't go more than that is about 60°C.  Set aside while we are preparing other ingredients.

• Matcha powder is not easy to dissolve in heavy cream.

  To help dissolve easily,  I always mix it with a small amount of sugar first.

  And then add heavy cream little by little.
• Add a little bit more heavy cream and mix well and transferred into a small pot passing through a sieve.
• Heat it on medium-low heat and cook until just before boiling.
• Whisk white chocolate gently until melt.
• Add in 1/3 of hot Matcha mixture, whisk gently for one direction.

  To homogenize the chocolate and heavy cream, you should start whisking in the center and draw a small circle.

  Make sure it goes in one direction.

  And you feel the resistance of chocolate, do not go further.

  If it's not easy to whisk, that’s the sign of the emulsify the chocolate and heavy cream.
• Add the rest of the half of heavy cream, and whisk again.

  Whisk gently and slowly until it looks shiny and very smooth.
• Transfer to prepare the mold.

  If there are air bubbles on the surface, just break it with a toothpick.

  Or if you have a kitchen torch, you can vanish the air bubbles in a second.
• Let it cool to room temperature and then cover with a plastic wrap and 

  let it set in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, peel off the parchment paper and cut into the desired size.

  If you want it to be like a professional finishing, use a ruler and cut it to the same size.

  And using a thin blade knife and warm it up in hot water is crucial.

   You can get a sharp edge and clean cut.
