Create a unique Matcha Tiramisu, a delightful fusion dessert blending the rich flavors of traditional Italian tiramisu with vibrant Japanese matcha.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed matcha tea, cooled
  • 1/2 cup coffee liqueur or dark rum (optional)
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (7 ounces) ladyfingers
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Matcha powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cooled matcha tea with the coffee liqueur or rum, if using. Place this mixture in a shallow dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of the sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the softened mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  7. Fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the air. This is your matcha cream.
  8. Quickly dip each ladyfinger one at a time into the matcha liquid. Do not soak them; a quick dip is enough.
  9. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  10. Spread half of the matcha cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  11. Dust lightly with cocoa powder, then dust lightly with matcha powder.
  12. Repeat the layers: a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining matcha cream.
  13. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  15. Before serving, dust the top generously with a mixture of cocoa powder and matcha powder for a beautiful contrasting finish.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests tasting your matcha tea first; if it is very bitter, you might want to slightly increase the sugar in the cream mixture.
  • Lena recommends using high-quality matcha for the best color and flavor.
  • Anya advises against over-dipping the ladyfingers; they should absorb the liquid quickly but not become soggy.
