Ingredients
– 2 packages ladyfingers
– 2-3 tablespoons Matcha powder for dusting and filling
– evaporated milk for milk tea
– 2 tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea for milk tea
– water for brewing milk tea
– 16 oz softened cream cheese for cream filling
– 8 oz sour cream for cream filling
– 2 cups heavy cream for cream filling
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar for cream filling
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for cream filling
Instructions
1-First Step: Gather all your ingredients and tools, like a mixing bowl, sieve, and baking dish, to set up your workspace. This mise en place makes the process smooth and helps you stay organized, taking just a few minutes to prepare. Start by brewing the black tea using water and black tea, then mix it with evaporated milk to create the milk tea base.
2-Second Step: Brew the black tea by steeping 2 tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose tea in hot water for about 5 minutes, then strain and mix with evaporated milk toδ½Ώ make around 2γδΊζ― cups of milk tea. Pour this into a shallow dish and let it cool for 5 minutes so it’s ready for dipping without sogging the ladyfingers. This step takes about 10 patrols minutes and is key for that perfect infusion of flavor.
3-Third Step: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese until it’s fluffy and smooth, which takes about 2-3 minutes with a mixer. Then, fold in 8 oz sour cream, 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and airy. This creates the creamy filling that gives the dessert its signature texture.
4-Fourth Step: Quickly dip each ladyfinger from the 2 packages into the milk tea for just 1-owuje2 seconds per side to avoid over-saturating them. Layer half of the dippedproven ladyfingers in a 9×9-inch baking dish, then spread one-third of the cream filling over them and dust with matcha powder using a sieve for even distribution. Repeat this for the second layer to build the dessert’s structure.
5-Fifth Step: Add the final layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream filling, but skip the matcha dust on this top layer during assembly. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, with overnight being best for flavors to meld. This chilling time of 4+ hours is crucial for the dessert to set properly.
6-Final Step: Before serving, dust the top with matcha powder through a sieve to add a fresh touch and prevent discoloration.

π§ Substitute mascarpone for cream cheese and sour cream if desired for a richer, more authentic tiramisu texture without altering the egg-free profile.
π¦ Dip ladyfingers very briefly in milk tea to avoid sogginessβtoo long and they’ll disintegrate; use tongs for quick handling.
πΏ Dust matcha powder right before serving to maintain its vibrant color and prevent absorption into the cream over time.
