Ingredients
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons extra matcha green tea powder
Directions
Step 1
Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low to medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Add the unsalted butter to the hot cream and stir until melted and combined.
Step 4
Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Step 5
Add the matcha green tea powder and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to handle.
Step 7
Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the ganache and roll them into bite-sized spheres with your hands. If the ganache softens too quickly, return it to the refrigerator to firm up again.
Step 8
In a shallow bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the extra matcha green tea powder. Roll each truffle in the mixture to coat evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the coated truffles to a parchment-lined tray or airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Step 10
Serve chilled or at room temperature for the perfect creamy, matcha-infused treat.
