Instructions
Prepare the matcha soak
Sift matcha powder into a bowl and pour hot water over it. Whisk vigorously until no lumps remain, then stir in sugar. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
Make the mascarpone cream
Whip heavy cream in a cold bowl until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
Dip the ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha soak for just 2 seconds per side. Do not soak them too long or they will fall apart. Lay them in a single layer in a serving dish.
Layer the tiramisu
Spread half the mascarpone cream over the first layer of ladyfingers. Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining cream. Smooth the surface evenly with a spatula.
Chill and serve
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Before serving, sift matcha powder generously over the top for a beautiful green finish.
