Ingredients

Scale

Matcha Syrup

1/2 tbsp matcha powder
1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/3 cup hot water
1 tbsp dark rum

Mascarpone Cream

2 1/2 tbsp mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
1/2 tbsp matcha powder
1/8 tsp vanilla extract

Tiramisu Assembly

4 ladyfingers

Milk Pour

2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp milk
Matcha powder (for dusting)

Instructions

Prepare Matcha Syrup: In a small bowl, mix matcha powder, granulated sugar, and a small amount of hot water until smooth with no lumps. Add the remaining hot water and stir well. Let the syrup cool completely before stirring in dark rum to preserve the flavor and alcohol.
Make Mascarpone Cream: In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form. Gently fold in softened mascarpone cheese until fully combined. Refrigerate the cream until ready to use to maintain its firmness.
Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip two ladyfingers, one at a time, into the cooled matcha syrup, coating both sides without letting them become soggy. Arrange them side by side in the center of your serving plate.
Layer Cream: Pipe or spread a generous layer of the matcha mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers, evenly covering them.
Repeat Soaking and Layering: Dip the remaining two ladyfingers into the matcha syrup and place them on top of the cream layer. Then pipe or spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second layer of ladyfingers.
Chill the Tiramisu: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least one hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld. If chilling longer, cover it tightly to prevent drying out.
Dust with Matcha: Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu evenly with matcha powder for an elegant finish and an extra boost of flavor.
Prepare Milk Pour: Mix the heavy whipping cream and milk in a small bowl or jug. Sprinkle some matcha powder on top for garnish.
Serve: To serve, gently pour the milk mixture over the tiramisu. Enjoy the creamy, smooth texture paired with the vibrant matcha aroma and taste.

Notes

Be careful not to oversoak the ladyfingers to avoid a soggy dessert.
Use good quality matcha powder for the best color and flavor.
The dark rum adds depth but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version or substituted with vanilla extract.
Refrigerate covered if storing overnight to maintain moisture and freshness.
Whip the cream until stiff peaks to ensure the cream holds its shape well during layering.
