Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low to medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot cream and stir until melted and combined.
Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
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.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to handle.
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.
In a shallow bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the extra matcha green tea powder. Roll each truffle in the mixture to coat evenly.
Transfer the coated truffles to a parchment-lined tray or airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for the perfect creamy, matcha-infused treat.
