Ingredients
  

Matcha Mascarpone Cream:

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 70 g granulated sugar
  • 225 g mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • 350 g whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  

Matcha Soak:

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder sifted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 120 g hot water
  • 24-30 ladyfingers
  •  

Topping:

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder

Instructions
 

  • 1. Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
  • 2. Place the bowl over the pot to create a double boiler. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns pale, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat and whisk in mascarpone until smooth.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, whip cream, matcha powder, and vanilla until medium peaks form.
  • 5. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined.
  • 6. For the soak, whisk matcha powder, sugar, and hot water until slightly frothy.
  • 7. Dip ladyfingers quickly in the matcha soak and layer in a dish.
  • 8. Spread mascarpone cream over ladyfingers. Repeat layers until dish is full.
  • 9. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • 10. Dust with matcha powder before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
Do not soak the ladyfingers too long or they will fall apart.
Overnight chilling gives the best results.
