Start by making the green tea syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a simmer and then remove from heat. Whisk in the matcha green tea powder until well combined. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and matcha green tea powder until smooth. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream until well combined. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the brewed coffee and Kahlua (if using). Dip each ladyfinger into the mixture, soaking both sides, and then place them in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish. Once the bottom of the dish is covered, spread half of the tiramisu filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining filling.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the ladyfingers to soften. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
This green tea tiramisu is a beautiful and delicious dessert that will impress anyone who tries it. The combination of the creamy filling, delicate ladyfingers, and subtle green tea flavor make for a unique and unforgettable experience. Give this Japanese-inspired recipe a try and see for yourself!
