Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1½ teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (for extra creaminess)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup matcha powder, cocoa powder, or powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until it’s hot but not boiling.
- Dissolve the Matcha: Whisk in the matcha powder until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm matcha cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Stir gently until melted and smooth.
- Add Butter & Vanilla: Stir in butter, vanilla extract (if using), and salt until fully incorporated.
- Chill the Ganache: Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- Shape the Truffles: Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls. Roll them between your hands to smooth them.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll in matcha powder, cocoa powder, or powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a smoother coating, dust lightly with powdered sugar before rolling in matcha.
- Prefer a sweeter coating? Try rolling in white chocolate shavings instead of matcha.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
