Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Cream 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
Other
- 24 ladyfingers
- More matcha powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: To prevent clumping, reserve 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and mix it with 1 tablespoon of sifted matcha powder to form a smooth paste. In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, sugar, and the matcha cream paste, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
- Whip Cream: Whip the remaining heavy cream to medium stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula to maintain the light and airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Make Matcha Soaking Liquid: In a matcha bowl or a medium bowl, whisk together 12 grams of matcha powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 500 milliliters of hot water until frothy and completely smooth. Allow this liquid to cool completely to room temperature before assembling the dessert.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha liquid, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy, as they will soak up more liquid while chilling.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer to line the bottom of an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) dish. Evenly spread half of the matcha mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the assembled tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. Before serving, dust the top generously with additional matcha powder for an appealing finish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality matcha powder to enhance both flavor and color.
- Ensure the matcha soaking liquid is completely cool before dipping ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.
- This dessert must be refrigerated overnight to allow the cream to set and flavors to develop fully.
- You can use gluten-free ladyfingers if you prefer a gluten-free version.
- Use a gentle folding technique to avoid deflating the whipped cream and maintain a light texture.
