Ingredients
Scale
Matcha Mascarpone Mixture
- 250g mascarpone, room temperature
- 60g sugar
- 1 tbsp matcha powder, sifted
- 400g heavy whipping cream
Matcha Soaking Liquid
- 12g matcha powder
- 500ml hot water
- 2 tbsp sugar
Assembly
- 24 ladyfingers
- More matcha powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: To prevent clumping, reserve 1 tablespoon of the heavy whipping cream separately. Mix this reserved cream with 1 tablespoon of sifted matcha powder until smooth, forming a matcha cream paste.
- Make Mascarpone Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature mascarpone cheese, sugar, and the prepared matcha cream paste. Mix gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Whip Cream: Whip the remaining heavy cream to medium stiff peaks. Carefully fold this whipped cream into the mascarpone-matcha mixture to create a light and airy filling.
- Prepare Matcha Soaking Liquid: Using a matcha whisk and bowl, vigorously whisk together 12 grams of matcha powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 500 ml of hot water until the mixture is frothy and well combined. Set aside and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
- Assemble Tiramisu: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha soaking liquid, ensuring they are saturated but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) dish.
- Layer Filling: Evenly pipe or spread half of the matcha mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers layer.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and place them as a second layer over the cream. Top this with the remaining mascarpone mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
- Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with additional matcha powder for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Ensure the matcha soaking liquid is fully cooled before dipping ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- Use quality matcha powder for the best vivid green color and authentic flavor.
- For easier assembly, dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid oversaturation.
- This dessert improves in flavor after a day of chilling, making it ideal for prep ahead occasions.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
