Ingredients

Scale

Matcha Cream

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade – sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Matcha Soak

  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade – sifted)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup hot water

Assembly

  • 24–30 ladyfingers
  • 1 cup strawberry sauce
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade – sifted) for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mascarpone cheese: Add the softened mascarpone cheese to a large bowl and whisk until smooth and silky. Set aside.
  2. Whip the cream: In another large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, 2 teaspoons matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream until medium peaks form, careful not to overwhip.
  3. Combine mascarpone and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until fully combined with no streaks remaining. Set aside.
  4. Make the matcha soak: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons matcha powder, granulated sugar, and hot water with a matcha whisk until slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  5. Soak the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha soak just enough to coat both sides. Shake off excess liquid and arrange them evenly in the bottom of a glass container to form the first layer.
  6. Add fresh strawberries: Place a layer of fresh strawberry slices evenly over the ladyfingers.
  7. Layer the matcha mascarpone cream: Spread a generous layer of the prepared matcha mascarpone cream over the strawberry layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  8. Layer strawberry sauce: Pour and spread a layer of strawberry sauce over the cream layer.
  9. Repeat layering: Repeat the layers of soaked ladyfingers, strawberries, matcha mascarpone cream, and strawberry sauce as desired to fill the container.
  10. Chill the tiramisu: Cover the assembled dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the cream to firm and the ladyfingers to soften thoroughly.
  11. Top and serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with 2 teaspoons of sifted matcha powder for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use ceremonial grade matcha powder for the best flavor and color.
  • Ensure mascarpone is at room temperature to blend smoothly with the cream.
  • Do not oversoak the ladyfingers to prevent sogginess; a quick dip is sufficient.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor melding and texture.
  • Strawberry sauce can be homemade by pureeing fresh strawberries with a touch of sugar or store-bought.
