Green Tea Flavored Mascarpone Cream
Whip the egg yolks with the icing sugar until white and frothy; it should take almost 5 minutes. Fold in the mascarpone cheese and whip again until the mixture is smooth.
Soak the gelatin leaves in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes and warm up the milk over medium heat (it shouldn’t boil). When the milk is hot enough dissolve the gelatin in it and sieve in the tea.

Mix the gelatin mixture into the mascarpone cream.
Whip the double cream until it forms firm peaks.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and add the sugar to make a soft meringue base.
Fold in the whipped cream.
Finally fold the cream-meringue into the tea mixture, divide between 4 ramekins,
Cover with cling film and chill for at least 4 hours (though overnight would be better).

The next day: make the dark chocolate sponge
Pre-heat the oven at 180°C.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the egg and sieve in the flour.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of boiling water and fold into the prepared batter.Pour the mixture into the lined tin and bake for about 10 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then unmold the cake and allow cooling on a wire rack for an hour or so.

Assembling the Pudding
With a cookie cutter, cut the sponge in circles of the same diameter as the ramekins. Unmold the tea mascarpone cream over the sponge and place in a plate.

Making the Chocolate Sauce
Put the cream and chocolate together in a pan over medium heat and mix until you’ve got a smooth ganache. Spoon this over your puddings
