🛒 Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder
  • 1.5 cups hot water (70°C/160°F, not boiling)
  • 150g mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
  • 4 tbsp monk fruit sweetener (or 2 tbsp honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 pasteurized whole eggs, room temperature
  • 24-28 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder (for dusting)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar (for matcha soaking)
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder (for matcha dip)
  • 1/4 tsp matcha salt (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Matcha Base: Sift 3 tbsp matcha powder into a bowl to remove lumps. Pour 1/2 cup of 70°C water slowly while whisking in circular motions until smooth and frothy. Add remaining 1 cup water and whisk until fully incorporated. Cool to room temperature (about 5 minutes). This prevents bitterness and creates the perfect dipping consistency.
2. Make the Cream Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk room-temperature pasteurized eggs with 4 tbsp monk fruit sweetener for 2-3 minutes until pale and ribbon-like. Gently fold in softened mascarpone until no lumps remain. Add Greek yogurt in two additions, folding gently to maintain airiness. Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Refrigerate while assembling.
3. Prepare Matcha Dipping Liquid: In a shallow dish, combine cooled matcha base with 2 tbsp light brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add 1 tbsp matcha powder and whisk until smooth. This concentrated mixture will flavor the ladyfingers without making them soggy.

4. Layer the Base: Quickly dip 12-14 ladyfinger biscuits into the matcha liquid (2 seconds per side maximum—they absorb fast). Arrange in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish or similar container. Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the biscuit layer using an offset spatula or back of a spoon.
5. Create the Middle Layer: Dip remaining 12-14 ladyfingers in matcha liquid and layer on top of the cream. Spread remaining cream filling in an even layer. Use the spatula to create subtle texture or leave smooth, depending on your preference.
6. Dust and Chill: Using a fine sieve, dust the entire top generously with 2 tbsp matcha powder. For added elegance, sprinkle a pinch of matcha salt in one corner if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This allows flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to brighten. Cut into 8 squares using a hot, wet knife (wipe between cuts). Serve chilled or at room temperature. Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
