Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Organic Burst Matcha
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup rice malt syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) coconut oil, solid
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cashew Mascarpone
- 2 ½ cups cashews, soaked
- 1 ¼ cups brewed Organic Burst Matcha, divided
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup rice malt syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside
- Make the cookies. Mix almond flour, matcha powder, lemon zest, rice malt syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla, breaking up the chunks of coconut oil as you go.
- Form cookie dough with your hands, transfer to lined baking sheet. Press and form the dough into a narrow oval-like shape. Start flattening the dough with your hands (about 10 x 7 inches, ¼ inch thick). Bake cookies for 12 minutes, or until edges are brown.
- Cut the cookie into 1-inch strips (about 10 – 12 cookies). Slide it back into the oven and bake again for 8 – 10 minutes or until brown on the sides. Allow cookies to cool completely.
- Make the cashew mascarpone. Place ¼ cup of the brewed matcha, lemon juice, rice malt syrup, vanilla, salt, and nutritional yeast into a blender. Blend.
- Slowly add in the coconut oil. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the remaining brewed matcha into a shallow dish. Break the cooled cookies, and dip them into the matcha, one at a time.
- Arrange cookies in a casserole dish. Pour the cashew mascarpone, and smooth it out into an even layer.
- Place the tiramisu in the refrigerator overnight. Serve with a dust of cocoa powder or matcha powder.
