Satisfy any sweetness craving with our Matcha Tiramisu recipe! If you prefer green tea (or matcha lattes) over coffee to beat the midday slump or if your friends describe you as “matcha obsessed,” then we’ve got a dessert recipe for you.
The foundation of our Matcha Tiramisu is comprised of matcha-infused pound cake. Once the cake is done baking in the oven, cut it up and add the remaining pieces to a shallow bowl. Then, dissolve our Matcha Collagen in water and add the mixture over the cake pieces, allowing time for the cake to soak up the liquid. Next, it’s time to begin the layering process.
Nestled between these layers of matcha pound cake is a creamy, dairy-free whipped cream that is made with our Vital Proteins Collagen Creamer® in Coconut, full-fat coconut milk and vanilla extract. The result? A rich, spongy dessert every green tea lover will enjoy.
What makes our Matcha Tiramisu so special, aside from its delicious flavor and texture, are the additions of our Matcha Collagen and Coconut Collagen Creamer. They’re not only vital parts of the recipe but also help to promote healthy hair, skin, nails, and joints.
