Print Recipe

These Easy Matcha Green Tea Tiramisu Parfaits take the classic Italian favorite and give it a vibrant, earthy twist. A 10-minute no-bake dessert with creamy mascarpone, delicate ladyfingers, and a matcha-green tea syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ tablespoons matcha powder (culinary-grade)
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • ⅓ cup hot water
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • About 24 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Matcha Syrup: In a small bowl, combine 1 ½ tablespoons matcha powder and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Add ⅓ cup hot water. Whisk vigorously until completely dissolved and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a medium mixing bowl, pour 1 cup cold heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (when lifted, the cream holds a soft, droopy peak). Do not over-whip.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Cream: In a separate large bowl, combine 8 ounces mascarpone cheese with remaining 4 tablespoons granulated sugar. Gently stir with a spatula until smooth and well combined.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Add about one-third of the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture. Gently fold with a spatula to lighten. Add remaining whipped cream and fold gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  5. Assemble the Parfaits: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the matcha syrup (about 1 second per side). Break in half if needed to fit your glass.
  6. Layer 1: Place a single layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving glass (about 4-5 per glass).
  7. Layer 2: Spoon or pipe a generous layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, filling about one-third of the glass.
  8. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, then another layer of mascarpone cream, filling almost to the top.
  9. Finish and Chill: Smooth the top with a spoon. If using, dust with cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours or overnight.

Notes

The quick dip is key: do not over-soak ladyfingers. Let mascarpone come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before starting. Chilling time is non-negotiable for best texture. Can be made up to 2 days in advance.
