Ingredients
  

Vegan Mascarpone with Matcha:

  • 10.5 oz silken tofu
  • 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon plant-based milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1/3 cup agave syrup or maple syrup

Vegan Matcha Cake:

  • 2/3 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon chlorella powder optional for bright green color
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil not coconut
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water

Matcha Dip:

  • 5 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder

Instructions
 

Vegan Mascarpone:

  • Melt the coconut oil.
  • Pour it into a blender and add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a container, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate while you prepare the sponge cake.

Vegan Matcha Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
  • Mix the liquid ingredients separately from the dry ingredients, then combine them together.
  • Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet, smoothing it out to a thickness of 0.4-0.6 inches (1-1.5 cm).
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.

Assembly:

  • Prepare the matcha dip: add the matcha powder to a small bowl. Pour in the hot water and stir to dissolve the matcha.
  • Place a bit of cream at the bottom of a glass.
  • Break the sponge cake into pieces and place it on top of the cream.
  • Drizzle a couple of spoons of matcha dip over the sponge cake.
  • Add another layer of cream on top.
  • Repeat several times.
  • Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours.
  • Before serving, dust with matcha powder and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure your tofu is very well drained for the creamiest mascarpone
  • Use clear glasses to show off the pretty green layers
  • For the best flavor, use high-quality matcha powder
  • The dessert tastes even better after sitting overnight in the fridge
  • Try adding a tiny sprinkle of lemon zest between layers for a fresh twist
  • For a fancy finish, add a few fresh berries on top before serving
