Matcha tiramisu without egg
About matcha tiramisu without egg
Maybe everyone has heard of tiramisu and has eaten it. This is the tiramisu with matcha flavor instead of coffee and cocoa flavors. The bitterness of matcha goes very well with the rich, creamy mascarpone cheese. There are many recipes to use eggs, but this recipe uses no egg in order to make it easily. But It’s delicious enough without eggs and it is very popular with my family. In addition, I use ladyfinger biscuits, so all you have to do is make cream and matcha liquid, and then assemble. After making it, let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Then you can eat scrumptious dessert.
Recipe tips
Matcha
Since the matcha is the important factor for this recipe, use good quality matcha. Good quality matcha has wonderful flavor, vivid green color, and the good balance of bitterness and sweetness. If you like, please read the link below about the nutrition and health benefits of matcha.
To make matcha liquid, mix matcha powder and sugar and add hot water little by little to dissolve the matcha. When dissolving powder in a liquid, not limited to matcha, do not throw the powder into a large amount of liquid from the beginning, but first mix the powder well with a small amount of liquid and dissolve it, and then add little by little and mix it with the whole liquid and it will dissolve well.
Matcha liquid should be lukewarm to soak the ladyfinger biscuits. If it is hot, it absorbs too much and the ladyfinger biscuits will collapse, If it is too cold, it will not soak in easily.
Gelatin
As for gelatin, if you want to cut it cleanly as shown in the picture above, use gelatin to harden the mascarpone cream. However, it is not essential if you make it from glass or a container. Please use it to your liking.
