Roasted Tea Tiramisu with White Miso Cream 焙茶提拉米蘇白味噌奶油

A sophisticated Hong Kong fusion dessert combining Italian tiramisu with Japanese roasted tea and white miso. Layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers are topped with silky white miso mascarpone cream infused with roasted barley tea, finished with cocoa powder and toasted tea dust for an umami-rich, subtly bitter-sweet experience.

9. Spread half of the white miso cream mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers.
10. Arrange remaining 12 soaked ladyfingers on top of the cream layer.
11. Top with remaining white miso cream mixture and smooth the surface.
12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for flavors to meld.
13. Just before serving, dust the top generously with roasted green tea powder and cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
14. Cut into 6 equal portions and serve chilled in individual bowls or on dessert plates.
