Ingredients

Scale

Matcha Soaking Mixture

  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 cup water

Custard Mixture

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp brandy

Mascarpone Cream

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream (divided in two 1 cup portions)

Sweetened Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup icing sugar

Assembly

  • 30 Savoiardi (ladyfinger) biscuits
  • Extra matcha powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg yolk custard
    In a double boiler, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar while heating until the mixture reaches 74°C (165°F). The custard should thicken slightly, lighten in color, and increase in volume. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Divide the heavy cream
    Separate the heavy cream into two equal portions of 1 cup each for different uses in the recipe.
  3. Make the mascarpone cream
    Whip one cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Stir the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg yolk custard until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and creamy mixture. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the sweetened whipped cream topping
    Whip the remaining cup of heavy cream slowly, gradually adding icing sugar, until soft, sweetened whipped cream forms. Refrigerate until needed.
  5. Mix the matcha soaking liquid
    In a shallow dish, thoroughly combine the matcha powder with water until smooth and fully dissolved.
  6. Assemble the tiramisu layers
    Briefly dip Savoiardi biscuits into the matcha mixture and arrange a single layer in an 8×8 inch serving dish or individual cups, covering the base completely.
  7. Add mascarpone layer
    Spread one-third of the mascarpone cream evenly over the soaked biscuits.
  8. Repeat layering
    Repeat dipping biscuits and layering mascarpone cream two more times to create a total of three layers.
  9. Top with whipped cream
    Remove the sweetened whipped cream from the fridge and pipe or spoon dollops over the final mascarpone layer, decorating as desired.
  10. Finish and chill
    Dust the top liberally with extra matcha powder. Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 2 hours to set and allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Be careful not to soak the Savoiardi biscuits too long in the matcha mixture to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • For food safety, ensure the egg yolks reach the recommended temperature to eliminate risk of salmonella.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
