Matcha Syrup:
3tablespoonsmatcha powder
⅓cupwarm water
Matcha Cream Cheese Filling:
1½cupswhipping cream
2cupscream cheese
2tablespoonsmatcha syrup
⅓cupgranulated white sugar
Instructions
Make the Matcha Syrup:
In a small bowl, whisk together matcha powder and warm water until smooth and frothy. Use a bamboo whisk if available.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of the syrup for the cream filling.
Prepare the Matcha Cream Cheese Filling:
In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add 2 tablespoons matcha syrup and white sugar, then whip again until fully incorporated and smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Soak the Ladyfingers:
Add the half cup of water to the remaining matcha syrup to thin it out.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha mixture—do not oversoak. Repeat until all biscuits are coated.
Assemble the Tiramisu:
In a baking dish, arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers.
Pipe a generous amount of matcha cream over the ladyfingers and smooth it out.
Repeat the layers - ladyfingers, then cream - until the dish is filled, ending with a layer of cream on top.
Smooth the final layer with a spatula.
Finish and Chill:
Lightly dust the top with 1 tablespoon matcha powder.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set. Best served cold!
