What are the ingredients in matcha chocolate?

Most matcha chocolates are made with a base of white chocolate or cocoa butter, and are flavored and colored using matcha green tea powder. In this vegan version, the ingredients include cocoa butter, confectioner’s sugar, coconut milk powder, and high-quality matcha. These create a rich, smooth, and naturally green bar that’s both delicious and dairy-free.

Are matcha chocolates healthy?

Matcha contains antioxidants and compounds like L-theanine and EGCG, known for boosting energy and calming the mind. While this recipe still includes sugar and fat, it uses minimal, whole ingredients. So when enjoyed in moderation, it can definitely be part of a balanced, more mindful treat.

How to store homemade matcha chocolate?

Because it’s made with cocoa butter and no added emulsifiers, homemade matcha chocolate should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze it and thaw slowly in the fridge to preserve its texture and color.

Can I use white chocolate instead of cocoa butter?

You can — but the result will be much sweeter and may overshadow the flavor of the matcha. If using white chocolate, omit the sugar and coconut milk powder in this recipe. Just melt and mix in your matcha before molding. Keep in mind, though, that it won’t be vegan unless your white chocolate is dairy-free.
