Ingredients
Strawberries
- 4 large fresh strawberries
Matcha Chocolate Coating
- 50 g white chocolate
- 5 g coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tsp matcha powder
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate coating adhere properly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and melt it gently over a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring regularly until smooth and fully melted.
- Add Coconut Oil and Matcha: Stir the coconut oil and matcha powder into the melted white chocolate until fully blended and smooth, creating a homogenous matcha chocolate mixture.
- Dip Strawberries: Holding each strawberry by the stem, dip it fully into the matcha chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow any excess coating to drip off.
- Set Coated Strawberries: Place the coated strawberries on a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the dipping process for all strawberries.
- Chill: Refrigerate the strawberries for 5-10 minutes to allow the matcha chocolate shell to set firmly.
- Optional Decoration: For extra flair, drizzle additional white or dark chocolate over the set strawberries before serving.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from sliding off.
- You can substitute coconut oil with butter if preferred.
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Store coated strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Adjust the amount of matcha powder based on your taste preference for bitterness.
