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!

(Serve 2)
Fillings:
Egg Yolks, 2
Granulated Sugar, 70g
Egg Whites, 2

White Chocolate Liqueur, 2 TBSP
Tiramisu:

Directions:
Prepare the fillings.
Prepare a double boiler.
Add the egg yolks to the double boiler.
Whisk egg yolks in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until pale yellow and slightly thickened.
Add sugar and continue whisking until dissolved and the mixture lightens.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk mascarpone briefly to loosen.
Fold in the yolk mixture until smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped egg whites in 3 portions.
Stir in orange zest and white chocolate liqueur.
Chill until ready to use or transfer to a piping bag.
Assemble the Tiramisu
In a shallow bowl, combine brewed matcha and white chocolate liqueur.
Dip savoiardi into the matcha mixture, flipping once to coat.
Break the savoiardi as needed to fit your serving glasses.
Layer the soaked savoiardi into the base of each glass.
Pipe or spoon the mascarpone filling over the top.
Repeat layering until the glass is filled to the brim.
Chill in the fridge overnight to set.
Finishing Touches
The next day, insert a halved savoiardi into the top of each tiramisu.
Dust with matcha powder and grate white chocolate over the top.
Serve immediately.
