Instructions
Step 1
In a heat-resistant bowl, place the egg yolks and add the sugar. Mix well and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water.
While constantly whisking, heat the mixture to 60 °C (140 °F) and keep it there for an additional 2–3 minutes for pasteurization of the yolks.
Step 2
Transfer the egg mixture into a mixer bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Beat the mixture until it becomes *light and fluffy*, and noticeably increases in volume.
Step 3
Add the mascarpone cheese and matcha powder to the egg mixture.
Blend them together until *smooth and homogeneous*.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it forms *soft peaks*.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture using a spatula until combined.
Step 5
For the soaking syrup, mix the matcha powder with sugar and pour in the hot water.
Stir thoroughly using a frother or whisk until well combined. Then add the milk and mix again.
Step 6
Grease the bottom of your serving dish with a small amount of cream.
Soak approximately 175–200 grams (6–7 ounces) of ladyfingers in the syrup and arrange them to form the first layer of tiramisu.
Step 7
Spread 1/4 of the cream over the soaked ladyfingers evenly.
Add a layer of *chopped strawberries* and cover it with another 1/4 of the cream.
Step 8
Soak the remaining ladyfingers in the syrup and create the second layer of tiramisu.
Spread the remaining cream (1/2 of the total) over the top and dust generously with matcha powder through a sieve.
Step 9
Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least *10–12 hours* to set and absorb the flavors.
Enjoy your delicious strawberry matcha tiramisu!

Equipment
This is essential for the egg yolk mixture. Ensure that it's large enough to fit over your pot for the double boiler method.



You’ll need this to whip the egg yolks and cream. A stand mixer is particularly useful for achieving fluffy results!
A flexible spatula will help you gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture without deflating it.



This will be used for soaking the savoyardi cookies. Make sure it's wide enough to fit the cookies comfortably.


Perfect for creating layered desserts, a springform pan allows for easy release once the dessert is set.



Variations
If you're looking to customize this recipe, here are some options! 🌱 For a gluten-free version, substitute savoyardi cookies with gluten-free ladyfingers or sponge cake. Just be sure to adjust the soaking time since gluten-free treats may absorb moisture differently!
For a vegan twist, replace egg yolks with aquafaba (chickpea brine) and opt for a vegan cream cheese to create the mascarpone flavor. Use coconut cream as a substitute for heavy cream for a whipped topping that’s both rich and dairy-free! 🥥
These modifications ensure that everyone at your table can enjoy the delightful flavors of matcha and strawberries!
