Description

Matcha tiramisu is a vibrant, creamy, and slightly earthy dessert that combines the traditional Italian tiramisu with the unique flavor of matcha. This easy recipe offers a perfect balance of green tea and sweet layers of mascarpone cream for a refreshing treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ teaspoons high-quality matcha powder
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Additional matcha powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Whisk the matcha powder and hot water in a bowl until dissolved. Allow to cool.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Add mascarpone cheese and mix until fully combined.

  • Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.

  • Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha soak, then layer them at the bottom of a dish.

  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Dust with matcha powder before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, refrigerate the tiramisu overnight.
  • You can add a bit of sweetened red bean paste for additional flavor, though it’s optional.
