Easy No-Bake Matcha Tiramisu Recipe

This matcha tiramisu features layers of matcha-soaked ladyfingers and a rich mascarpone filling, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and requires chilling time, serving approximately 8 people.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder (plus extra for dusting)
• 1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
• 1 package ladyfinger cookies
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, matcha powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
2. Soak the Ladyfingers: Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled green tea briefly, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
3. Layer the Dessert: In a serving dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the matcha cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture.
4. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
