I was having cravings for some matcha-flavored dessert last night, so Dan and I made matcha tiramisu! We’d never made it before, so it was an undertaking — we made the filling, syrup, and even the ladyfingers from scratch! (Usually, you can buy ladyfingers readymade for making regular tiramisu, but we were too lazy to go out and get them. It was also because we wanted to make the ladyfinger spongy layer green tea-flavored too, and ladyfingers don’t come in green tea flavors.)
This was my first time actively making baking/cooking in the kitchen in a couple months, and I was still feeling pretty queasy, so Dan helped a lot — it was a collaborative effort! π
The results came out pretty good! Although since I have a taste aversion to eggs, and the recipe we used called for a lot of eggs for both the ladyfingers sponge and the filling, it was a little too egg-y/custard-y for my taste. Dan gobbled it up, though! Maybe I’ll try a recipe that uses less egg next time.
