Green Tiramisu (Matcha Tiramisu)
Tiramisu made with green tea instead of coffee. For the matcha lovers out there!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Matcha Powder plus more for garnish and in-between layers
- 2 tablespoons Sugar

Instructions

Assembly:
- Spread about a tablespoon of the filling at the bottom of a 6x6 pan.
- Dip both sides of lady fingers into the matcha quickly, about a second on each side so as no to soak it too much.

- Chill for at least 4 hours, Overnight or longer is better.
