Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. -

Arrange ladyfingers in a single layer, slightly overlapping, on top of the cream. Repeat with remaining cream mixture. -

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Let cool completely before frosting. -

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Matcha Tiramisu with Cream Cheese Frosting
How do I store matcha tiramisu?
Keep the tiramisu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you’re serving it cold, it’s best consumed within 24 hours to maintain freshness. For a longer shelf life (up to five days), you can freeze it in portions—just thaw in the fridge before serving.
Can I substitute regular green tea for matcha?
No, matcha is essential for its rich, earthy flavor and vibrant color. Regular green tea lacks the finely ground powdered matcha provides, so it won’t replicate the texture or taste of this dessert.
How can I make this tiramisu extra creamy?
For a richer texture, replace half of the mascarpone with whipped cream cheese or add a splash of heavy cream to the whipped egg whites before folding. Also, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whipping—they’ll incorporate air more easily.
What if I don’t have a food processor for the coffee-soaked ladyfingers?
You can soak the ladyfingers directly in the coffee mixture without a food processor. Just gently press them into the warm mixture to ensure even saturation. Avoid overcrowding the bowl to prevent sogginess.
