TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: If you really wanna impress your guests, make Tiramisu. If you want to win their hearts, make Matha Tiramisu.

Savoiardi Biscuits are essential. There is no middle ground here, if you don't have them, don't make Tiramisu. Ever.

If you're worried about caffeine, yes, Matcha Tiramisu has a ton of it. As Matcha is a concentrated form of Green Tea, it has been long reputed by enthusiasts for centuries that Matcha possesses stronger health benefits associated with Green Tea, and such effects have not been scientifically proven until recently. Caffeine is more concentrated in Matcha, which Japanese Zen monks have used to stimulate awakeness, but the main Matcha constituent expected to have a stress-reducing effect is theanine. So you are awake and relaxed at the same time.

Matcha Tiramisu, also called Matchamisu is definitely a brilliant mix of two very different cultures. Probably, the most difficult thing in the Matcha Tiramisu recipe is being able to break all the lumps when making the Matcha tea.
Amongst its many health benefits, matcha is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg, it boosts metabolism and burns calories, it has been scientifically proven to be able to calm the mind and relax the body and it can prevents disease.

01 - Combine the Hot Water and Matcha Powder and whisk until the Tea is lump-free. Set Aside.



02 - Separate the 4 Eggs and put the Yolks and the Whites into 2 separate large bowls.

03 - Add half of the Sugar into the Egg Yolks and beat until the Sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is creamy.

04 - Mix Yolks and Mascarpone together.

05 - Now, beat the Egg Whites along with the other half of the Sugar until it all becomes spongy and it has formed stiff peaks.

06 - Fold the bowls delicately together and mix just until the Yolk and White Mixtures have well combined. From now on we'll refer to this as, Cream Mixture.



07 - ( OPTIONAL ) Spread some Cream Mixture on the bottom of the Baking Dish. This will be the base of your Tiramisu, the first layer.
The Traditional Tiramisu Recipe requires soaked Savoiardi Biscuits to be the first layer on the bottom of the dish or cups to allow the Tiramisu slice to slide off the spatula without problems when serving, but many love that extra Cream on the bottom. If you're making it for yourself, we advise you to place Cream first, if you have guests, soaked Savoiardi first.



08 - At this point the Matcha Tea should be cold. Transfer the Matcha Tea into a plate and add the Marsala Wine.

09 - Soak the Savoyard Biscuits in the Matcha Tea and line them up on top of the Cream inside the Baking Dish, to form the second layer of your Tiramisu'.

10 - Generously cover the Savoiardi layer with Cream Mixture, and spread evenly.

11 - Make a second ( and third layer if you can ) the same way. Matacha Tea soaked Savoiardi Biscuits and more Cream Mixture.

12 - Using a Tea Sieve, sprinkle some Matcha Powder on top.

13 - Leave in the fridge for about 3 hours before serving.

Notes:

---

- If you want you can use half amount of Mascarpone Cheese and half of Heavy ( whipping ) Cream.

- In this recipe the term 'Savoiardi Biscuits' refers to a kind of biscuit very similar to the 'Ladyfingers'.

- Savoyard Biscuits are the traditional Biscuits used in the Italian Traditional Tiramisu Recipe rather than Ladyfingers.

- Soak the Savoyard Biscuits depending on how you like your Tiramisu.

- The Matcha Tea can be sweetened according to how you like it.



ALTERNATIVES:

- Cream can be used as an alternative to thicken the Tiramisu. Whisk the Double Cream until stiff peaks form, then add the Sugar.

- Full-fat spread Cheese can be used as an alternative to Mascarpone; add some Cream to taste.

- Whether thickening with Egg Ehites or Cream, ensure it is stiff before adding to the other ingredients; if it is not stiff, the Tiramisu will not set properly.
