Ingredients

  • 200 g heavy cream
  • 15 g sugar
  • 100 g mascarpone cheese
  • 6 ladyfingers I use homemade
  • 5 g matcha powder
  • 100 g hot water
  • Jasmine flowers optional (for decoration)

Instructions

Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

  • In a clean mixing bowl, combine 200g heavy cream and 15g sugar. Using a whisk or mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until it thickens and forms clear patterns that hold their shape.
  • In a separate bowl, stir 100g mascarpone cheese with a spatula until smooth. Fold the mascarpone into the whipped cream, gently mixing from the bottom up until combined. Transfer the mascarpone mixture into a piping bag for easier assembly.

Make Matcha Liquid and Prep Ladyfingers

  • Dissolve 0.5g matcha powder in 100g hot water, stirring until smooth. Make sure the liquid isn't too thin.
  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha liquid, coating the surface lightly without soaking.

Assemble the Matcha Tiramisu

  • Arrange a layer of matcha-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your container, covering the base completely.
  • Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers using a spatula or piping bag.
  • Repeat the process: add another layer of ladyfingers followed by mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.

Decorate

  • Sift a thin layer of matcha powder over the top of the tiramisu for a beautiful finish.
  • Optionally, decorate with jasmine flowers for a touch of elegance and freshness.
