Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Mixture
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 100 grams Sugar
- 15 grams Sifted matcha powder
- 300 ml Heavy whipping cream
Matcha Dip
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 500 ml Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 12 grams Matcha powder (for dipping liquid)
Topping
- 5 grams Matcha powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Matcha Paste: Set aside 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and mix it with 1 tablespoon of sifted matcha powder until smooth to create a vibrant matcha paste that will flavor the mascarpone layer.
- Mix Mascarpone and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and the prepared matcha paste. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until medium stiff peaks form. Carefully fold this whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Prepare Matcha Dipping Liquid: Using a matcha whisk, vigorously whisk together 12 grams of matcha powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 500 ml hot water until frothy. Allow this mixture to cool completely before use; this will soak the ladyfingers imparting them with liquor-like flavor.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha liquid, making sure they absorb flavor without becoming soggy. Arrange them neatly in an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) dish as the first layer.
- First Cream Layer: Evenly spread or pipe half of the matcha mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers, creating a smooth creamy layer.
- Second Ladyfinger Layer: Repeat the soaking process with remaining ladyfingers and layer them over the cream layer in the dish.
- Top with Remaining Cream: Spread the remaining matcha mascarpone mixture evenly on top to finish the layering.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and the texture set perfectly.
- Serve: Before serving, dust the top generously with the remaining matcha powder for an elegant finish. Cut into squares and enjoy your eggless matcha tiramisu.
Notes
- Ensure the matcha whisk is used for best dissolution and froth in the matcha dipping liquid.
- Dipping ladyfingers too long may cause sogginess; a quick dip is sufficient.
- Refrigeration time is critical for flavor development and texture setting.
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
