Place the mixture in a saucepan over low heat and mix with a rubber spatula, turning off the heat just before boiling.

Add the softened gelatin to the matcha mixture and mix well.

Prepare a large bowl and cover the bottom with ice water.

In a separate bowl, add heavy cream and beat until thickened, being careful not to over mix.

Pour the mousse mixture into containers and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
