I recently discovered Matcha Tiramisu, and I’m so glad I did! I love how it combines the richness of Italian tiramisu with a Japanese twist. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious!
Matcha Tiramisu
I made Matcha Brownies not long ago, and they turned out amazing. Since I still had some matcha powder left, I decided to make this easy matcha dessert, which also turned out delicious!
I really like Tiramisu, but I prefer it alcohol-free, so I like making it at home. My Tiramisu recipe is super easy, alcohol-free, and egg-free.
You'll Need
Here is an overview of what ingredients you need to make this easy dessert. The complete ingredient information and quantities are in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Matcha powder: Choose a high-quality matcha powder with a vibrant green color.
- Caster sugar
- Ladyfingers
- Custard powder
- Cream cheese: I use mascarpone at room temperature; however, Philadelphia cream cheese is an excellent substitute.
- Sour cream
- Heavy cream
- Pandan extract: I use pandan extract firstly to add flavor and secondly to enhance the natural green color of matcha. If pandan isn’t available, vanilla extract makes the best substitute.
How To Make It
First, please note that this tiramisu needs to chill in the fridge to set for at least 4-5 hours before serving.
Now, let's break down the process:
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone, sour cream and custard powder until smooth.
Step 2: In another bowl, whisk heavy cream, sugar, sifted matcha powder, and pandan extract using an electric mixer until SOFT peaks form.
Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated, then set aside.
Step 4: In a wide bowl, whisk together hot water, matcha powder, and caster sugar until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 5: Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish. Working one at a time, dip the ladyfingers quickly into the matcha soak, coating both sides without letting them get soggy, then arrange them in a single, even layer in the dish.
Step 6: Spread evenly a thick layer of the mascarpone mixture on top using a spatula.
Step 7: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, then spread a layer of mascarpone mixture on top. Smooth the surface with a spatula, cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4–5 hours to set (I keep it overnight).
Step 8: Just before serving, sprinkle matcha powder over the tiramisu and serve.
Pro Tips
- Matcha: High-quality matcha makes a big difference in flavor.
- Filling: Don’t over-whip the cream to achieve a smooth, spreadable filling.
- Soaking: Don’t soak the ladyfingers, just give them a quick dip on both sides.
- Layering: I like my tiramisu super creamy, so I add a thicker layer of cream between the ladyfingers.
- Chilling: Chill for at least 4 hours, though I prefer to leave it overnight for the best texture.
- Storing: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The flavor actually gets better the longer it sits.
