Modern twist on classic tiramisu replaces traditional espresso with a vibrant Matcha syrup
Cream Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 6 Tbsp powder sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Make Matcha syrup. Combine sugar and Matcha powder with a whisk. Pour boiling water over the mixture and whisk until the sugar and Matcha are dissolved. Let it cool.
Make cream filling. Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl, and whisk with an electric mixer at low speed until the mixture is smooth. Increase the speed to the medium-high and whisk until medium peaks. Put the filling in a piping bag..
Cut the ladyfingers in half and soak them in the syrup for 10 minutes. Pipe the filling into the bottom of a wooden sake cup, place two pieces of ladyfinger on top, and then pipe more filling to reach the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula to make it flat, and sprinkle Matcha powder over the top using a mesh strainer. Repeat to make three more cups. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
