Green tea tiramisu

What about a Japanese-inspired Tiramisu? To all green tea lovers, you should try this recipe out! ;)

If you are keen in making this, here I'm sharing the recipe.

Ingredients:

• one packet of lady finger biscuits (Depends which type of dish you are using, I used one packet) 

Mascarpone Cheese filling:

• 40g (about 2 eggs) of egg yolks
• 70g of caster sugar (Separate 30g and 40g each)
• 250g of Mascarpone cheese
• 100g of whipping cream (35% fat) 
• 70g of egg whites
• 10g + extra for dusting
• 90g of hot water

Method:

• Prepare mascarpone cheese filling. Combine egg yolks and 30g of sugar in a bowl and beat until mixture thickens and becomes pale yellow in colour. Add mascarpone cheese and mix well.
• Whip whipping cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Add whipped cream to the mascarpone cheese mixture and fold through.
• Make meringue. Place egg whites in a clean bowl and beat until foamy. Add remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form and egg whites are glossy. Fold into mascarpone cheese mixture.
• Place green tea powder in a small bowl and mix with hot water a little at a time. Stir until completely dissolved. Quickly dip both ends of each biscuit sponge in the green tea mixture, then place in a medium serving dish such as a 27cm oval dish, or into individual serving glasses.
• Spread half of mascarpone cheese filling in a layer over soaked biscuit sponges. Dip more biscuit sponges into green tea mixture and place on top of mascarphone cheese layer. Spoon over remaining mascarpone cheese filling.
• Dust generously with green tea powder and refrigerate until required. Tiramisu can kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Tips: Mix powdered with green tea powder for dusting. Just green tea powder alone is kinda bitter.
