Matcha Warabi Mochi Tiramisu Trifle Delight

Tiramisu with Mochi? Yes, you read that right!

This recipe combines the creamy richness of traditional tiramisu with a unique Japanese twist - warabi mochi.

If you’re unfamiliar with warabi mochi, it’s a Japanese confection with a delicate, jelly-like texture. Unlike regular mochi, which is chewy and sticky, warabi mochi has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth quality. Traditionally made from the starch of warabi (bracken), it’s often substituted with warabi mochiko, a starch derived from sweet potato or tapioca.

In this recipe, I’ve paired the subtle sweetness of warabi mochi with the bold flavors of matcha and mascarpone cream, layered over a soft Costco muffin base. The result? A delightful fusion dessert that’s perfect for fans of both tiramisu and Japanese sweets.

Let’s dive into this matcha warabi mochi tiramisu trifle!
