Matcha tiramisu

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 250 g mascarpone
• 3 eggs
• 60 g sugar
• A pinch of salt
• About 20 ladyfingers (for extra flavor, make them homemade with our matcha ladyfinger recipe)
• 4 g UMIKA culinary matcha
• 120 ml water

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the matcha: mix 4 g of matcha with 120 ml of hot water and let it cool while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
3. In a bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar until the mixture turns pale.
4. Add the mascarpone and mix until smooth.
5. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, giving lightness to the cream.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in three batches, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
7. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the cooled matcha, being careful not to soak them.
8. Arrange a first layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving glasses or dish.
9. Cover with a layer of mascarpone cream.
10. Repeat the process to create a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and cream.
11. Let chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
12. Just before serving, lightly dust with matcha powder for decoration, adding an elegant final touch.
