Description
Deliciously creamy matcha white chocolate truffles packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (Softened)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Can substitute with powdered erythritol)
- 2 tablespoons Matcha Powder (Culinary grade for best flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Pure vanilla is best)
- As needed Green Food Coloring (Gel food colorings yield best results)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Melts/Shredded White Chocolate (Provide a creamy finish)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil (Optional, helps in smoothing the coating)
- As needed Matcha Powder (For aesthetic appeal)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of culinary-grade matcha powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed and desired brightness is achieved.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion the mixture into 1-inch balls, rolling them gently. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt 1 cup of white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil if using.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl, then return to the tray.
- Drizzle tinted white chocolate or sprinkle matcha powder on top for decoration.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Notes
- For best results, use culinary-grade matcha powder.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar or erythritol.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted for a smooth coating.
