Step by step: instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

1. In a sauce pan over low heat, start heating the whipping cream until you notice bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, remove immediately from heat. Add chocolate and butter, mix quickly so the chocolate and butter melt evenly.
2. Add Pistachio and sift matcha powder over stir to combine.
3. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and tap gently over the counter to remove any air bubbles. Smooth out the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate until set.

My notes

• The flavor of your matcha chocolate depends heavily on the quality of the matcha and chocolate you use. Opt for culinary-grade matcha and high quality chocolate.
• Matcha powder can clump easily, so sifting it ensures a smooth texture.

Storage and reheating

Refrigerate - Store the chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Freeze - For longer storage, you can freeze the chocolates for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
