Description
Matcha covered strawberries made with creamy white chocolate and ceremonial grade matcha. This easy dessert comes together in under 30 minutes and delivers a beautiful balance of sweet, earthy, and fresh flavors.
Ingredients
300 g white chocolate, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon ceremonial-grade matcha powder
14 fresh strawberries, washed and completely dried
Instructions
1. Line a tray with parchment paper.
2. Wash strawberries, dry them completely, and let them come to room temperature.
3. Melt the white chocolate slowly using low heat, short microwave bursts, or a double boiler.
4. Stir frequently until the chocolate becomes smooth and fully melted.
5. Sift the matcha powder into the melted chocolate.
6. Mix until the coating becomes smooth and evenly green.
7. Dip each strawberry by the leaves into the matcha chocolate.
8. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place each berry on the parchment-lined tray.
9. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the strawberries.
10. Let them sit at room temperature until the coating fully hardens.
Notes
Makes about 14 strawberries and takes under 30 minutes.
Use room-temperature berries to prevent condensation that interferes with coating.
Ensure strawberries are completely dry to avoid chocolate seizing.
Melt white chocolate gently to prevent burning or clumping.
Optional toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or coconut can be added before the coating sets.
Best eaten the same day.
Can sit at room temperature for up to one day.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days, though condensation may cause a whitish appearance on the chocolate.
Do not freeze, as thawing makes strawberries mushy.
