Description

Matcha Tiramisu is a creamy, no-bake Japanese-Italian fusion dessert featuring layers of matcha-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, finished with a delicate dusting of vibrant green matcha powder.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 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)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk hot water with 1 tablespoon matcha powder and granulated sugar until smooth. Let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha mixture and arrange in a single layer in a dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  7. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and remaining cream.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, sift remaining 1 tablespoon matcha powder evenly over the top.

Notes

  • Do not oversoak the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
  • Use culinary-grade matcha for balanced flavor and color.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor and texture.
  • Store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
