Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh strawberries
11 oz white chocolate chips
3 teaspoons Matcha powder
White/Dark chocolate for drizzle
Method:
Prepare the Strawberries: Gently wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry. It’s essential that the strawberries are dry, as chocolate will not stick to wet berries.
Melt the White Chocolate: Add the white chocolate chips to a microwavable bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. If the chocolate becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or water to thin it out.
Add the Matcha: Stir the matcha powder into the melted white chocolate until it’s thoroughly combined.
Dip the Strawberries: Line a sheet pan with parchment or wax paper. Hold each strawberry by the green stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Set the Strawberries: Place the dipped strawberries on the parchment paper and let them dry. Repeat the process with the remaining strawberries.
Chill and Set: Allow the strawberries to set in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
Drizzle: For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the dipped strawberries using a fork.
Tips & Notes:
Dry Strawberries: Be sure to thoroughly dry your strawberries. The chocolate will not adhere to wet berries, and this step is crucial for a smooth finish.
Consistency: If your melted chocolate feels too thick, add a small amount of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
Matcha Quality: For the best flavor, use ceremonial-grade matcha, as it provides the smoothest and most balanced taste for desserts.
Storage: These truffles are best enjoyed the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Pairing Suggestions:
These Matcha Choco Strawberries make a fantastic treat to serve at any occasion, especially paired with:
Tea: Pair with a delicate green tea or a smooth matcha latte to enhance the flavors of the matcha.
Champagne: For a celebratory touch, serve with champagne or a light sparkling wine.
Coffee: Enjoy them with a rich espresso or a flat white for a delicious after-dinner treat.
These truffles also pair beautifully with other desserts like dark chocolate mousse, creamy panna cotta, or fruit tarts.
The Art of Gifting:

Pack them in a beautifully decorated gift box lined with parchment paper, and add a ribbon or a little note for a personal touch.
