If you love matcha, I think you will love this Poured Matcha Tiramisu. It is a delicious twist on my previous Poured Tiramisu recipe, replacing the coffee with matcha.

This recipe makes just one single serving of tiramisu with layers of matcha-infused ladyfingers and sweet matcha mascarpone cream filling. The matcha adds a unique earthy flavor and a beautiful green color. It balances out the sweetness of tiramisu, making it not too sweet.

You can serve it as it is, but in this Poured Matcha Tiramisu recipe, milk is poured right before serving. It makes a great presentation and is the perfect combination of moist, light, and indulgent.

Why This Recipe Works

  • No bake. There is no baking involved in this recipe! No turning on the oven for this one.
  • Egg-free tiramisu. With the exclusion of raw eggs, you can dig in without any worry about food safety or allergies.
  • Single-serve. The recipe is precisely scaled to produce a single, indulgent serving. 
  • Easy to scale up. Got a friend coming over or a special date night planned? This recipe easily doubles or triples, making it versatile for any situation.
  • Minimum chilling time. Tiramisu usually requires at least 6 hours of chilling time to let the ladyfingers soften and the mascarpone cream set. In this recipe, the chilling is required for at least 1 hour to let the cream set. The milk pour will help to soften the ladyfingers quickly.

Ingredients You Need

In its traditional form, tiramisu often involves making a custard that incorporates eggs to enrich the filling. However, our spin on this beloved dessert is entirely egg-free, eliminating the need for a custard base. This makes it not only simpler to prepare but also a great option for those who prefer to avoid eggs.

  • Ladyfingers. Also called Savoiardi, ladyfingers are Italian sponge biscuits that are a tiramisu classic. They’re easily found in most supermarkets, or you can make a small batch of homemade ladyfingers.
  • Matcha powder. This recipe uses matcha powder in each component, from the syrup, mascarpone cream, and the milk pour. 
  • Granulated sugar. To sweeten the matcha syrup.
  • Dark rum. While optional, a splash of dark rum adds an extra layer of flavor. If you want to make a non-alcoholic tiramisu, just leave the liqueur out.
  • Heavy whipping cream. It is essential for achieving a thick, velvety texture in the filling.
  • Mascarpone cheese. This is an Italian cream cheese that adds richness to your tiramisu. 
  • Confectioners’ sugar. To sweeten the cream.
  • Vanilla extract. To enhance the vanilla flavor.
  • Milk. For the milk pour. Mix it with heavy cream to add more richness.

Serving Tips

Make sure to dust the tiramisu with matcha powder right before serving or the top will be wet. Additionally, pour the milk right before serving because submerging the tiramisu too long in the milk will make the ladyfingers turn soggy.
