A refreshing twist on the classic Italian tiramisu using green tea-soaked ladyfingers and a silky mascarpone cream, perfect for a light, elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 ladyfingers (firm, crisp)
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder (culinary grade)
  • 1 ½ cups brewed green tea, cooled (sencha or genmaicha recommended)
  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • About 1 teaspoon matcha powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Brew the green tea: steep 2 green tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf green tea in 1 ½ cups (360ml) hot water (175°F/80°C) for 3 minutes. Let cool completely and transfer to a shallow dish for soaking ladyfingers.
  2. Whip the cream and mascarpone: In a large bowl, beat mascarpone and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined and airy.
  3. Prepare the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled green tea soak for 1-2 seconds per side, avoiding sogginess.
  4. Assemble the tiramisu: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the baking dish. Spread half the mascarpone cream evenly over them. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone cream.
  5. Chill and dust: Smooth the top, dust with about 1 teaspoon matcha powder through a fine sieve. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled. Optionally, add fresh berries or a drizzle of honey on top.

Notes

Avoid over-soaking ladyfingers to prevent sogginess; dip quickly for 1-2 seconds per side. Whip cream to stiff peaks before folding into mascarpone for light texture. Chill at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for best flavor and texture. Dust matcha powder on top for visual appeal and flavor balance. Variations include vegan substitutions and adding fresh berries between layers.
