FAQs About Preparing Matcha Tiramisu

1. Can I make this tiramisu vegan?
Yes! Substitute mascarpone with a plant-based alternative (like cashew cream or coconut-based mascarpone), use dairy-free whipped cream, and replace ladyfingers with a vegan sponge cake or biscuits.

2. How long does matcha tiramisu need to chill?
For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for a fully developed taste.

3. Can I make matcha tiramisu without coffee?
Absolutely! Unlike traditional tiramisu, this recipe replaces coffee with matcha for a smooth, earthy flavor. No coffee needed!

4. How do I store matcha tiramisu?
Keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to 1 month, then thaw in the fridge before serving.
