Calories: 530kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup caster sugar
- 2 tablespoon custard powder
- 225 g Mascarpone cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder, sifted
- ½ teaspoon pandan extract
Matcha Soak
- ½ cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder
- 220 g ladyfingers
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone, sour cream and custard powder until smooth.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whisk heavy cream, sugar, sifted matcha powder, and pandan extract using an electric mixer until SOFT peaks form.
- Finish the matcha mascarpone cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated, then set aside.
- Make the matcha soak: 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.
- Assemble the base: 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.
- Spread evenly a thick layer of the mascarpone mixture on top using a spatula.
- Make layers: 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).
- Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle matcha powder over the tiramisu and enjoy.
Notes
Store the tiramisu in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.
