A creamy matcha tiramisu recipe with layers of mascarpone cream, matcha-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of vibrant green tea powder.
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

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.

- 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.
