Let’s dive into creating this beautiful dessert step by step:

1. Prepare the Base:
   • Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter.
   • Press this mixture into the bottom of a round cake pan to form an even base.
   • Refrigerate the base for about 30 minutes to let it set.
2. Make the Matcha Layer:
   • In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin by dissolving it in 2 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
   • Gently heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until warm, then remove from heat.
   • Add the white chocolate and matcha powder to the warm cream, stirring until smooth.
   • Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
   • Pour the matcha mixture over the chilled base and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
3. Prepare the Raspberry Layer:
   • In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down.
   • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, then return the liquid to the saucepan.
   • Bloom the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the warm raspberry liquid until dissolved.
   • Allow the raspberry mixture to cool slightly, then pour it over the set matcha layer. Refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.
4. Serve:
   • Once set, carefully remove the entremet from the cake pan.
   • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the harmonious blend of matcha and raspberry in every bite!
