Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Matcha Soak

  • In a medium bowl, sift matcha powder to avoid clumps.
  • Slowly add hot water while whisking continuously until frothy and fully dissolved.

Step 2: Make the Coconut Cream Layer

  • In a separate bowl, combine coconut yogurt and agave syrup.
  • Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu

  • Quickly dip ladyfingers into the matcha soak, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soggy.
  • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular or square dish.
  • Spread half of the coconut cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat with another layer of matcha-soaked ladyfingers.
  • Top with the remaining coconut cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 4: Chill & Dust

  • Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to let the flavours meld and the texture set.
  • Before serving, sift a generous layer of matcha powder over the top.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Matcha Tiramisu

Use high-quality matcha for the best flavour and vibrant green colour. 

Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers; a quick dip is enough to avoid a soggy base.

Full-fat coconut yogurt creates a richer, creamier layer.

Chill overnight for the best texture and flavour infusion.

FAQs

1. Can I make this recipe fully refined sugar-free?

Absolutely! You can swap agave syrup with maple syrup or date syrup for natural sweetness.

2. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! It's even better when made a day in advance and chilled overnight.

3. What can I use instead of ladyfingers?

Gluten-free biscuits or even thin slices of sponge cake will work perfectly.

4. Can I freeze matcha tiramisu?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze portions in airtight containers. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
