A fluffy, pistachio-infused sponge cake forms the base, providing a light and nutty undertone. On top of the cake, creamy matcha green tea mousse adds a touch of earthy sweetness. Sprinkled throughout the mousse are crunchy crushed pistachios, creating a delightful contrast in texture.

Tips
For this dessert, if you need to substitute any of the ingredients, there are a few options to consider. If you don't have pistachios, you can use almonds or walnuts instead for a similar nutty flavor. If matcha is not available, you can use green tea powder or even cocoa powder for a different taste. Additionally, if passionfruit coulis is not accessible, you can use any other fruit coulis or a citrus-infused syrup as a substitute. Remember to adjust the quantities accordingly to ensure the desired taste and balance of flavors.
