Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Matcha Mixture:

  • Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:
  • Fold the mascarpone into the zabaglione until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, fluffy mixture.
  • Assemble the Tiramisu:
  • Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha mixture.
  • Layer the ladyfingers in a rectangular dish.
  • Spread a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
  • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mascarpone cream on top.
  • Chill:
  • Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves or white chocolate shavings if desired.
