Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder (plus extra for dusting)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Pro Tips
- Use good-quality white chocolate – It makes all the difference! Lower-quality white chocolate can be waxy and won’t melt as smoothly.
- Sift the matcha powder – This helps avoid clumps and gives the fudge an even color.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate – White chocolate burns easily, so melt it slowly.
- Line your pan with parchment paper – This makes it super easy to remove and cut the fudge later.
- Let it set completely – It might be tempting to cut early, but for clean squares, wait at least 3 hours!
Tools You’ll Need
- Medium saucepan
- Heatproof mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- 8×8-inch square pan
- Parchment paper
- Small fine-mesh sieve (for dusting matcha)
Substitutions & Variations
- No white chocolate chips? Use a chopped white chocolate bar instead.
- Want it extra creamy? Add an extra tablespoon of butter.
- Prefer a stronger matcha flavor? Increase the matcha to 2 teaspoons.
- Make it fun! Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries or toasted coconut on top.
Make-Ahead Tips
- You can make this fudge up to 1 week ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
How to Make Matcha White Chocolate Fudge
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate, Butter & Condensed Milk
In a heatproof bowl, combine 2 cups white chocolate chips, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Melt over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth.
Step 2: Add Matcha, Vanilla & Salt
Remove the bowl from heat and sift 1 ½ teaspoons matcha powder directly into the melted mixture. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk until completely smooth and evenly green.
Step 3: Pour into the Pan & Smooth
Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Pour the matcha fudge mixture into the pan and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
Step 4: Chill Until Firm
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or until firm).
Step 5: Cut into Squares & Dust with Matcha
Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares and lightly dust with extra matcha powder.
Leftovers & Storage
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed container. Thaw in the fridge before eating.
