Homemade Matcha Chocolate mousse with pear, mango and a pistachio crumble

Looking for summer desserts? When I think of summer, I automatically associate it with tasty, fresh fruit. A dessert should be airy and light, we leave the heavy desserts for the winter.

And what could be lighter than a mousse? Matcha and white chocolate, that is the ultimate combination for me. That's why I made this delicious white chocolate mousse with matcha. The taste of matcha also goes very well with the sweetness of pear and mango. So the choice was made quickly! The pistachio crumble adds a nice bite to this dessert.
