Notas
1. Quality Matcha: Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color. Culinary grade matcha works well for desserts.2. Mascarpone Cheese: Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for easy blending with the cream mixture.3. Tea Strength: Brew the green tea strong enough to impart flavor to the ladyfingers but cool it completely before dipping to prevent sogginess.4. Ladyfingers: Dip the ladyfingers briefly in the green tea. Over-soaking can cause them to become too mushy and affect the texture of the tiramisu.5. Chilling Time: Allowing the tiramisu to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight is crucial for the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.6. Dusting Matcha: Sift the matcha powder for dusting right before serving to maintain its vibrant color and avoid clumping.7. Variations: Feel free to add a splash of matcha liqueur or a sprinkle of cocoa powder between layers for added depth of flavor.8. Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors may even improve with an extra day of chilling.9. Presentation: For an elegant presentation, use individual cups or glasses for serving. This also makes it easier to portion and serve.10. Adjusting Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar in the cream mixture to taste. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar by a few tablespoons.These notes will help you achieve the best results and offer some flexibility to customize the recipe to your taste.
