- 2 tablespoons matcha powder, divided
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for matcha mixture)
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)

- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining cream.
