Lately I wanted to explore new flavors. I was curios to try some recipe with the Japanese green tea. In my shopping excursion at the local central market I found a Japanese store and I was attracted by a small can with the precious green tea powder (matcha) and I thought to use it for a tiramisu. I wanted to substitute the coffee with the green tea to have a lighter flavor. I was pleased by the result and my Italian guest appreciated the little change. Here is the outcome.
GREEN TEA TIRAMISU'
Ingredients:
Serve 4
8 savoiardi (lady fingers)
125g mascarpone
125g wipping cream
100g custard sugar
50g peeled and chopped pistachios
3 yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons matcha
1 1/2 cup of boiled water
In a deep bowl with the hot water mix the green tea and let the powder melt well. Add a table spoon of custard sugar. Prepare 4 glasses to serve the tiramisù.
Beat the yolks with the custard sugar until they are soft and pale. Add the mascarpone and combine well the two ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk the whipping cream without over beating it. Once you got the right consistency mix the whipping cream with the mascapone cream and combine well the ingredients. In your 4 glasses prepare a base with one full tablespoon of the cream in each glass.
Get back to the bowl with the green tea and deep one savoiardo in both sides, cut it in two and lay them in the cream that you prepared in the serving glass. Cover the savoiardi with another full tablespoon of cream, sprinkle with the pistachios and repeat the sequence with a second savoiardo. Once you have two layers cover the glass and put it to the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Before serving sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of matcha and enjoy this decadent sweet.
