Ingredients
  

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon matcha powder (plus extra for dusting)

1 cup strong brewed green tea, cooled

12 ladyfinger cookies

Pinch of salt

Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt.

    Use an electric mixer to whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

      In a shallow dish, pour the cooled green tea. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the tea, ensuring they're soaked but not soggy.

        In a rectangular dish, layer half of the soaked ladyfingers on the bottom.

          Spread half of the matcha mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it evenly with a spatula.

            Add another layer of the soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer.

              Finish with the remaining matcha mascarpone mixture, smoothing it out to create a nice top layer.

                Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor and texture.

                  Before serving, dust the top with some additional matcha powder and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings for added elegance.
