Matcha Tiramisu

So, I thought, why not give the traditional tiramisu a little twist? That’s how I ended up mixing in the vibrant flavors of matcha. It's like Italy met Japan in my kitchen! The matcha not only gave it a rad green touch but also added this cool earthy kick to every bite.

Ditching the usual dish, I decided to serve this beauty in a glass. I mean, who wouldn't want to show off those creamy layers? Plus, it’s a sweet teaser of what's inside, perfect when you’ve got friends over or just feeling a bit fancy.

Alright, here’s where I went a bit chef-mode. I threw in some fresh orange zest (though, between you and me, lemon or yuzu zest could rock too). Then, I splashed in some white chocolate liqueur to up the flavor game. Oh, and for that extra chefy touch? Grated white chocolate sprinkled on top. Because why not? Now, let's get to the recipe!
