Ingredients

For the Matcha Mixture

2 tablespoons matcha powder Adjust to taste if you're a matcha lover.
1/4 cup hot water Avoid boiling water to preserve delicate flavors.
1/4 cup granulated sugar Substitute with coconut sugar for a caramel-like flavor.

For the Mascarpone Filling

8 oz mascarpone cheese Cream cheese can be used for a lighter option.
1 cup heavy cream Whipped until stiff peaks form.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for a natural taste.

For Assembly

24 pieces ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi) Homemade or store-bought work well.
1/2 cup milk (for dipping) Use whole milk or almond milk for a dairy-free alternative.

For Garnishing

1 tablespoon matcha powder (for dusting) Use a fine sieve for even distribution.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together matcha powder and hot water until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until creamy.
Gently fold the matcha mixture into the mascarpone until fully combined.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into a blend of warm water and sugar for a couple of seconds.
In a dish, lay half of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom, then spread half of the matcha mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat with another layer.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, dust the top with extra matcha powder and serve chilled.
