Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Fill a pot with about 1" of water and bring it to a boil.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl that sits comfortably on top of the pot without touching the water.
- Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and place the bowl on the pot. Continuously whisk until the mixture turns pale in color, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the pot and add the softened mascarpone cheese. Whisk until smooth and silky.
- In a separate bowl, combine the whipping cream, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Whip until medium peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until there are no streaks remaining.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the matcha powder, granulated sugar, and hot water until slightly frothy.
- Briefly dip a ladyfinger into the matcha soak, arrange in the serving container to form a flat layer, then repeat until you cover the bottom.
- Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by another layer of mascarpone cream.
- Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top with additional matcha powder for presentation.
Notes
Use high-quality matcha powder for best flavor. Chill overnight for enhanced flavors.
