Description
A simple recipe for a green tea flavored tiramisu dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese, cold
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups strong brewed matcha tea, cooled
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur or rum (optional)
- 2 packages (7 ounces each) ladyfingers
- Matcha powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is pale and thick, about 8 minutes. Do not let the bowl touch the water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg mixture until just combined.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth.
- Combine the cooled matcha tea and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha mixture, ensuring they do not become too soggy.
- Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with matcha powder.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the coffee liqueur and use only matcha tea for dipping.
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor.
- You can assemble this dessert in individual glasses instead of a single dish.
