Matcha Tiramisu

Print Recipe

A Japanese twist on the classic Italian dessert, Matcha Tiramisu combines the earthy flavor of matcha green tea with creamy mascarpone and fluffy ladyfingers for a unique and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder (plus more for dusting)
  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar (to sweeten the matcha)
  • 1 package ladyfinger biscuits (about 24 pieces)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  2. In another bowl, beat mascarpone cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together hot water, matcha powder, and honey or sugar until fully dissolved.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha mixture (do not soak), then arrange a layer in a dish.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  6. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, dust the top with additional matcha powder.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor and color.
  • Adjust matcha sweetness to your taste.
  • Tiramisu is best made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld.
