Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer with paddle attachment and whisk attachment or electric hand mixer with beaters
  • 1 heat safe bowl
  • 1 small whisk
  • 1 8x8 (20 cm) dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 ml) very hot water
  • 1 tablespoon matcha tea powder
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, divided
  • 8 oz. (226 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the matcha tea according to the package or tea container directions or whisk the matcha powder with hot water until frothy. This takes about 30 - 60 seconds of whisking. 
    Once the matcha tea is made, whisk 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar into the matcha and pour into a bowl which will be used to dip the ladyfingers cookies in. 
    1 cup (240 ml) very hot water, 1 tablespoon matcha tea powder, 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar
  • In a mixing bowl fitted with whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream and ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Transfer the whip cream to another bowl or use another mixing bowl to prepare the mascarpone filling. Switch to a paddle attachment. 
    1½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream, 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, divided
  • Cream the mascarpone cheese smooth across the bowl. Go low speed and very slow to ensure the mascarpone doesn’t split. Once the mascarpone is smooth, mix the remaining ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the mascarpone. Mix the sugar and vanilla extract into the mascarpone on the lowest speed until combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the mascarpone filling until just combined. Do this part by hand to prevent over-whipping the mixture.
    8 oz. (226 g) mascarpone cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Assemble the matcha tiramisu. Use an 8 x 8 (20 cm) pan to assemble the tiramisu. Quickly dip one ladyfinger at a time into the prepared matcha tea. Layer them on the bottom of the pan. Continue until the there is a single layer of matcha tea dipped ladyfingers across the pan. 
    Evenly top the ladyfingers with the creamy mascarpone cream. Repeat layering the lady fingers and mascarpone filling 1 more time, ending with the mascarpone.
  • Loosely cover the tiramisu matcha tea dessert with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to chill and set for 4 - 6 hours. The tiramisu matcha tea dessert can stay in the fridge up to 1 day before serving. When it’s time to serve, carefully remove the prepared tiramisu from the fridge, dust with more matcha powder, slice and enjoy.
