Description
This no-bake Matcha Tiramisu blends Japanese green tea with classic Italian cream layers. It’s light, flavorful, and perfect for dessert lovers looking for something unique and elegant.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon matcha powder (culinary grade)
1 cup warm water (not boiling)
1/2 cup sugar (divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
18–20 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
Extra matcha for dusting
Instructions
1. Whisk the matcha powder with warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar until fully dissolved.
2. In a large bowl, whip cold heavy cream with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped cream until combined.
4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha mixture (1–2 seconds) and layer them in a serving dish.
5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then the remaining mascarpone mixture.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
8. Before serving, dust the top generously with sifted matcha powder.
Notes
Use culinary-grade matcha for best color and taste.
Avoid soaking ladyfingers too long—they’ll fall apart.
Chilling overnight improves flavor and texture.
