Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or dairy-free milk (almond or oat)
  • 2 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (for folding into cream)
  • 20–24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • Optional garnish: extra sifted matcha powder, white chocolate shavings, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha Soak: Warm 1 cup (240 ml) of milk over low heat until hot but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in 2 teaspoons matcha powder and 2 tablespoons sugar until dissolved and smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Make the Cream Layer: In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and 1/3 cup sugar. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes). Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until smooth.
  3. Incorporate Matcha into Cream: Sift 1 teaspoon matcha powder over the mascarpone mixture and fold gently until pale green and evenly combined.
  4. Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled matcha milk soak for 1-2 seconds per side. Layer half the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of the trifle bowl or glasses.
  5. Layer the Cream: Spread half of the matcha mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with remaining soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining cream.
  6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sift a light dusting of matcha powder on top and optionally sprinkle white chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Sift matcha powder before mixing to avoid clumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid over-whipping. Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent sogginess. Best made a day ahead for flavors to meld. For gluten-free, substitute ladyfingers with gluten-free sponge cake. For vegan, use vegan cream cheese, coconut cream, and dairy-free milk.
