Tips Before You Start
- Use white chocolate that is of good grade. It makes a big difference! If you buy lower-quality white chocolate, it could be waxy and not melt as easily.
- Sifting the matcha powder helps keep it from clumping and makes the fudge look even.
- Don’t heat the chocolate too much. White chocolate burns quickly, so melt it carefully.
- Put parchment paper in the bottom of your pan. This will make it very easy to take out and cut the fudge afterward.
- Let it set entirely. You could want to cut it early, but for clean squares, wait at least three hours!
Instructions
- Put 2 cups of white chocolate chips, ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a bowl that can handle heat. Using the double boiler method, melt over a pot of water that is simmering, stirring until smooth.
- Take the bowl off the heat and sift 1 ½ teaspoons of matcha powder right into the melted mixture. Add a pinch of salt and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is perfectly smooth and green all over.
- Put parchment paper in an 8×8-inch square pan. Put the matcha fudge mixture in the pan and use a spatula to make the top smooth.
- Put it in the fridge for at least three hours, or until it is solid.
- When the fudge is set, use the parchment paper to lift it out. Cut into little squares and sprinkle some extra matcha powder on top.
Variations and Tips
- There are no white chocolate chips? Instead, use a white chocolate bar that has been cut up.
- Want it to be extra creamy? Put in one more tablespoon of butter.
- Want a stronger matcha taste? Add two teaspoons more matcha.
- Have fun! Add crushed freeze-dried strawberries or toasted coconut on top.
Storage
- You can make this fudge up to a week ahead of time and keep it in the fridge in a container that doesn’t let air in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freezer: You can freeze it for up to three months in a container that is sealed. Put in the fridge to thaw before eating.
