Tiramisu with Matcha Mascarpone Cream

Ingredients

• 2 Egg yolks
• 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tsp Matcha powder
• 1/2 cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 8 Ladyfinger cookies
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Matcha powder for dusting(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water for 3-4 minutes until pale and slightly thickened (make sure the water does not touch the bowl). Remove from heat and cool for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Whisk in the mascarpone, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of matcha until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.

3. 3

   Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee (1-2 seconds per side) and arrange 4 in the bottom of two serving glasses or ramekins.

4. 4

   Spoon half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, add a second dipped layer of ladyfingers, then top with the remaining cream.

5. 5

   Dust the tops with the remaining matcha, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while you clean up, or up to 4 hours for a firmer set.
