Matcha Tiramisu

A delicious fusion of Italian classic and Japanese elegance! Taking traditional tiramisu, known for its layers of mascarpone and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, but reimagined with the boldness of matcha. Rich and creamy, this tiramisu is sure to be a hit with everyone!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 lb cream cheese
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 2 tbsp sifted matcha
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup prepared matcha
  • 2 7oz packs of ladyfingers
  • matcha for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a sauce pan for about 30 seconds or until well blended. Whisk in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and boil for a minute; remove from heat. Place plastic wrap on to milk mixture and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  • Beat together the cooled milk mixture and cream cheese, set aside.
  • Beat heavy cream, vanilla, matcha, and powdered sugar until stiff, set aside.
  • Take your prepared matcha, I used 1 cup water and 1 tsp matcha powder, and pour into a shallow bowl.
  • Quickly dip both sides of the ladyfingers in the matcha one by one and arrange in a 9x13 rectangle dish, make sure to completely cover the bottom. You want the fingers soaked but not soggy.
  • Spread half of the cheese mixture over the fingers, then spread half of the whipped cream over the cheese layer.
  • Repeat with remaining ladyfingers, cheese mixture, and whipped cream. Dust with matcha and refrigerate for 5 hours or until firm. Enjoy!
