Directions
| Cake Filling | |
| Step 1 | |
| Soak the gelatin in the cool water for about ten minutes or until the gelatin has softened. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Beat the egg yolks with the 30 grams of caster sugar until the yolk is smooth and pale yellow. Sift the flour into the mix and whisk until well-combined. Pour the milk and cream in as well, stirring everything regularly. Once everything is combined, put the mixture through a sieve and into a saucepan. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Cook the egg mixture over medium heat, stirring it constantly. Continue to stir until it has the consistency of smooth and silky cream. Put the gelatin in and stir until the mixture dissolved and is incorporated into the egg mixture. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Filter the mixture through the sieve to remove any lumps, placing it in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let it cool to room temperature. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Prepare the green tea by pouring the matcha powder with hot water, mixing it until the powder has dissolved. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Add the cream cheese, 20 grams of sugar, and the green tea to the egg mixture. Beat at the lowest speed for up to two minutes or until it is well-blended. | |
| Step 7 | |
| In a separate bowl, beat the cold whipping cream until it's soft. Divide in sections, pouring each section slowly into the egg mixture and beating everything until it's smooth and soft. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Add lining to the bottom of a 9" springform pan. This will make it easier to quickly remove the cake later on. | |

| Step 9 | |
| Remove all the sugar from the ladyfingers, using a knife to scrape it off. Then dip each ladyfinger in the milk, both sides. | |
| Step 10 | |
| Pour the cake mixture into the mold, shaking the cream to smooth out the surface. Leave it in the fridge for about four hours or once the cake has cooled and firmed. You can leave it in the fridge for as long as two days. | |
| Step 11 | |
| Remove the cake from the mold using a thin knife. Sprinkle some green tea powder on top, cut into eight slices, and serve! | |
