A quick and easy no-bake tiramisu with a refreshing matcha twist, creamy texture, and just five simple ingredients. Perfect for a fuss-free elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder (culinary-grade preferred)
  • About 20 ladyfinger cookies
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three additions using a rubber spatula, folding gently to keep the mixture airy.
  4. Sift matcha powder over the cream mixture and fold gently until uniformly pale green.
  5. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into plain water or a very light matcha tea infusion for 1-2 seconds to avoid sogginess.
  6. Lay a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish or glasses.
  7. Spread half of the matcha cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  8. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture. Smooth the top.
  9. Chill the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld and cream set.
  10. Before serving, dust with extra matcha powder or cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu look.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid grainy texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture light and airy. Use good-quality culinary-grade matcha for best flavor. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if cream is too firm.
