What is Matcha Chocolate?
Matcha chocolate is simply chocolate mixed with matcha powder. Matcha is a special kind of green tea that is ground into a fine powder. It is full of antioxidants and gives chocolates a bright green color and a unique taste.
Ingredients You Need
You only need a few things to make matcha chocolates:
- 200g white chocolate (white chocolate works best with matcha)
- 1–2 teaspoons matcha powder (ceremonial or high-quality culinary grade) explore matcha here
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or cocoa butter (optional – makes chocolates softer and shinier)
- A tiny pinch of salt (optional – makes the taste richer)
Tools You Need
- A bowl
- A pot with water (to melt chocolate safely)
- A sieve (to remove matcha lumps)
- A spoon
- Chocolate molds or an ice cube tray
Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- Break your white chocolate into small pieces.
- Put it in a bowl.
- Place that bowl on top of a pot with hot simmering water (this is called a double boiler).
- Stir slowly until the chocolate melts and looks smooth.
👉 Tip: Don’t heat it too much, or chocolate can burn.
Step 2: Add Matcha Powder
- Take your sieve and sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder into the melted chocolate.
- Stir gently until the chocolate turns a lovely green color.
- Taste it – if you want stronger matcha flavor, add a little more powder.
Step 3: Make It Smooth (Optional)
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or cocoa butter.
- Mix again until silky and shiny.
Step 4: Pour Into Molds
- Carefully pour the green matcha chocolate into your molds (or ice cube tray).
- Tap the molds lightly so there are no air bubbles.
Step 5: Chill and Enjoy
- Put the molds in the fridge for 1–2 hours.
- Once hard, pop the chocolates out.
- Your homemade matcha chocolates are ready to eat! 🎉
