Ingredients
Scale
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
- Additional matcha powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: To prevent clumping of matcha powder, reserve 1 tablespoon of the heavy cream and mix it with 1 tablespoon of sifted matcha powder to form a smooth paste.
- Make Mascarpone Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone, sugar, and the matcha cream paste. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Whip Cream: Whip the remaining heavy cream until medium stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and airy.
- Prepare Matcha Soaking Liquid: Using a matcha whisk and bowl, whisk together 12g matcha powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 500ml hot water until frothy and well blended. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha liquid ensuring they absorb the tea without becoming too soggy. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) dish.
- Layer Mascarpone Mixture: Pipe or spread half of the matcha mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Before serving, dust the tiramisu generously with additional matcha powder for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Ensure the matcha powder is sifted to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
- Do not soak ladyfingers for too long in the matcha liquid to prevent sogginess.
- Refrigerate overnight for best flavor development and texture.
- Use high-quality matcha powder for a vibrant color and authentic taste.
- This recipe is egg-free but still captures the classic tiramisu creaminess and flavor.
