Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

Mix the Egg Yolks

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 Mascarpone and Matcha

Add the mascarpone cheese and matcha powder to the egg mixture.

Blend them together until *smooth and homogeneous*.

Step 4

Whip the Cream

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

Prepare the Soaking Syrup

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

Assemble the Tiramisu

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

Layer the Ingredients

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

Complete the Second Layer

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

Chill Before Serving

Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least *10–12 hours* to set and absorb the flavors.

Enjoy your delicious strawberry matcha tiramisu!

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!
