Cook Time:

Total Time:

20 minutes

Ingredients:

For the matcha mousse:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 large egg yolks

For the ladyfinger layer:

• 12-16 ladyfingers (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the whipped cream topping:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, granulated sugar, matcha powder, and kosher salt until stiff peaks form.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks until light and fluffy.
3. Fold the whipped cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
4. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee or espresso for about 3-5 seconds on each side. They should be soft and pliable but not too wet.
5. In a large serving dish, create a layer of ladyfingers.
6. Spread half of the matcha mousse over the ladyfingers.
7. Repeat the layers one more time, ending with the remaining matcha mousse on top.
8. Top the cake with whipped cream and decorate as desired.

Notes:

• This recipe is best served chilled, so refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
• If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of strong brewed coffee.
• For an extra boost of matcha flavor, sprinkle some matcha powder on top of the whipped cream.
