Chocolate-covered strawberries are already a classic, but this version adds an umami, earthy flavor that makes them feel fresh and unexpected. Whether you’re planning a laid-back evening with your closest friends, a spontaneous date night at home, or just want something sweet to mark a personal moment, this recipe is going to be your new favorite matcha recipe. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
-
1 pint fresh, juicy strawberries (rinsed and thoroughly dried)
-
1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
-
1½ tsp high-quality matcha powder (culinary grade or cafe grade matcha powder)
-
Parchment paper or a wire rack (for cooling)
Directions
Prep your strawberries: Make sure they’re completely dry.
Melt the white chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Add matcha: Sift the matcha powder directly into the melted chocolate and stir until fully blended and smooth. This helps avoid any clumps and keeps the coating silky.
Dip the strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or use a toothpick and dip it into the matcha chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on parchment or a wire rack.
Let them set: Allow the matcha mix coating to firm up at room temperature (about 30 minutes), or speed things up by chilling them in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
Enjoy this decadent matcha white chocolate snack with a glass of wine! White wine or sparkling wine works best!
Variations
Matcha Coconut Crunch: After dipping, sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Dark Chocolate Swirl: Once dipped in matcha chocolate, drizzle a little melted dark chocolate on top for a marbled look and deeper flavor.
Pairing Ideas
Hot or Iced Matcha Latte: Smooth, creamy matcha lattes highlight the flavor of the matcha strawberries and tie it together as a creamy, cozy snack.
Vanilla Ice Cream or a scoop of dark chocolate ice cream: A lovely contrast in texture, especially if the strawberries are served chilled.
