   Matcha fans! This matcha tiramisu is creamy and ultra-airy. It takes the classic Italian tiramisu recipe and replaces the espresso with matcha green tea. The green tea soaked ladyfingers are covered with soft mascarpone custard filling and dusted with an even layer of matcha powder.

   ​

   **Ingredients:**

   * 24 ladyfingers
   * 3 tbsps matcha powder
   * 16oz (1lb) mascarpone cheese
   * 4 pasteurized eggs
   * 120g sugar

   ​

   Mascarpone filling:

   * 1lb mascarpone cheese
   * 4 egg yolks
   * 60g sugar

   ​

   Egg white filling:

   * 4 egg whites
   * 60g sugar

   ​

   Green tea:

   * 1.5 tbsps matcha powder
   * 1.5 cups (24oz) hot water (~175°F or 80°C)

   **Directions:**

   1. Dissolve matcha powder in hot water. (Matcha powder is finely ground powder of processed green tea leaves)
   2. Separate egg yolks and egg whites into two big bowls.
   3. Whisk the egg yolks and beat mascarpone in the egg yolks. Add sugar gradually until blended.
   4. Beat egg whites to soft peaks and add sugar gradually.
   5. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
   6. Dip each ladyfinger into the green tea, quickly turn it around 5 times to soak up enough but not too much green tea. Place them at the bottom of the dish.
   7. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers and make the filling into an even layer.
   8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 with remaining ingredients.
   9. Dust the top layer with matcha powder. Enjoy! (Don’t get greedy. Too much matcha powder will taste bitter.)
