Matcha nama chocolate

  • Great recipe for when you need an impressive yet easy treat with simple ingredients.
  • The vibrant green color and the earthy notes of matcha pair beautifully with the rich, creamy sweetness of chocolate, creating a delightful treat.
  • Highly customizable recipe to suit your taste preferences, whether you like it sweeter, richer, or more intense.

Ingredients you'll need

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

Ingredients notes

  • White chocolate chips, use chocolate made with cocoa butter. Quality of the ingredients is very important for this recipe.
  • Heavy cream
  • Unsalted butter
  • Matcha powder (Japanese green tea powder), this fine powder can be found in the nearby grocery stores
  • Optional: crushed pistachios

Adaptable recipe – make it your own!

  • Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate or milk chocolate for different flavors.
  • Add chopped almonds instead of pistachios, or other nuts for a crunchy texture.
  • Add freeze-dried raspberry powder for a tangy twist.
  • Celebrate different occasions by using your favorite chocolate mold.

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.

Perfect pairings: what to serve with

Matcha chocolate can be served in a variety of ways. Pair it with some green, jasmine or white tea. Serve matcha squares with hot chocolate or as part of a cheese or snack board. Serve it along with some fresh fruits or chop and sprinkle over some vanilla ice cream.

With its endless customization options and simple preparation, this recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves experimenting with flavors.
