Imagine a dessert that combines unexpected flavors and textures in a mesmerizing way. Meet the matcha-infused tiramisu - a twist on the classic Italian dessert. Layers of light and fluffy matcha sponge cake, delicately soaked in espresso and rum, are interspersed with creamy matcha-infused mascarpone cheese. Adorned with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios, providing a delightful crunch, and garnished with edible flower petals for a touch of elegance.

Tips

For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, there are several ingredient substitutions that can be made to create a similar flavor profile for this matcha-infused tiramisu. Instead of using traditional mascarpone cheese, try using coconut cream or cashew cream for a vegan option. Swap out the sponge cake for gluten-free ladyfingers or almond flour cake to accommodate those with gluten sensitivities. Substitute the espresso and rum with a strong brewed coffee or a non-alcoholic coffee liqueur. Regardless of any ingredient changes, the result will still be a delectable and visually stunning dessert.
