    🍽 Kitchen Equipment

    • Saucepan: the saucepan will be the base of your double boiler. Choose a small saucepan that will allow your heat proof mixing bowl to sit on top of it.
    • Heat proof mixing bowl: I love using my Duralex glass nesting mixing bowls to create my double boiler. They come in 9 different sizes so you can select which one is perfect for your saucepan.
    • Small Fine Mesh strainer: You will need a fine mesh strainer or sifter to sift the matcha powder to prevent it from clumping.
    • Rubber Spatula: you will need a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate ingredients together.

    🛒 Ingredients

    You will only need 5 ingredients for these matcha strawberries. Using very few ingredients means that each ingredient must be of high-tasting quality for the best results.

    • Strawberries: strawberries are best when they are in season in the summer. However, if it is not summer the second best option is to find them at your local farmer’s market. Third option is to choose the most juicy, beautifully red strawberries in the grocery store.
    • White Chocolate Chips: Since this recipe calls for few ingredients make sure you use high quality, great tasting white chocolate. I prefer to use Ghiradelli’s baking white chocolate chips or Callebaut's white chocolate chips.
    • Salt: since white chocolate is a much sweeter chocolate, adding a tiny pinch of salt balances out the sweetness.
    • Matcha powder: When using matcha powder, ensure that you are using the best culinary or ceremonial grade matcha powder that you can find. For this recipe, I used ceremonial grade matcha for a deeper and richer matcha flavor with a more brilliant green color.
    • Heavy Cream (Optional): the heavy cream will soften up the white chocolate as it melts. When it cools on the strawberry, it will not crumble into a million pieces and instead be a soft matcha chocolate blanket over the strawberry. However, this is completely optional. The strawberries will taste just as delicious with out it.

    📝 How to Make Matcha Chocolate Covered Strawberries

    This 5 ingredient matcha chocolate strawberries recipe only has 5 simple steps!

    1. Prepare the strawberries. Wash the strawberries and lay them out to dry completely. Make sure they reach room temperature before dipping.
    2. Melt the chocolate. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl), on medium-medium high heat, melt the chocolate, heavy cream and salt. Stir with a rubber spatula continuously until melted and silky smooth.
    3. Sift in matcha powder. Turn off the heat and sift in the matcha powder. Stir with the rubber spatula until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
    4. Dip the strawberries. Hold each strawberry by the stem and gently dip into the matcha chocolate to coat and let the excess chocolate drip into the bowl. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. If decorating, sprinkle on the sprinkles at this time. Re-heat the chocolate mixture in microwave if it begins to harden.
    5. Cool. Allow the berries to cool completely before enjoying.

    ⭐️ Tips for the Best Matcha Strawberries

    • Use fresh strawberries. Chose strawberries that are red, ripe but are still firm. Make sure the strawberries are clean, dry and at room temperature for best results.
    • Use high quality melting chocolate chips. I usually opt for Ghiradelli premium white chocolate baking melting chips or Callebaut white chocolate melting chips.
    • Sift the matcha powder. Make sure to sift the matcha powder into the chocolate. Sifting the matcha powder will prevent any large clumps from happening and allow for more silky smooth and even mixing.
    • Use a double boiler to prevent the chocolate from overcooking. You want to melt the chocolate but not burn it. Chocolate can be a very finicky beast if you overcook it, the texture may become clumpy and hard to work with. Use a double boiler and work with medium heat until the chocolate melts.
    • Chill before serving. Once dipped, the matcha chocolate covered strawberries will need time in the refrigerator for the chocolate to set completely before serving.

    🥡 Storage Instructions

    You can store these matcha chocolate-dipped strawberries in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Unfortunately, they will sweat a little bit the longer they stay in the refrigerator. It's recommended to consume them as soon as possible after chilling.

    💬 Frequently Asked Q’s & A’s

    What is the best white chocolate for dipping strawberries?

    For best results, use high-quality baking or melting white chocolate chips. I trust using Ghiradelli premium white chocolate baking chips or Callebaut white chocolate melting chips.

    How long do matcha strawberries last?

    These matcha chocolate-covered strawberries are best enjoyed within 48 hours. However, they can last in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb strawberries washed and dried
    • 1 ½ cup (10 oz) white chocolate chips
    • ¼ cup (60 g) heavy cream
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 ½ teaspoon matcha powder sifted

    Instructions

    • Prepare the strawberries. Wash the strawberries and lay them out to dry completely. Make sure they reach room temperature before dipping.
    • Melt the chocolate. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl), on medium-medium high heat, melt the chocolate, heavy cream and salt. Stir with a rubber spatula continuously until melted and silky smooth.

    • Dip the strawberries. Hold each strawberry by the stem and gently dip and roll the strawberry into the matcha chocolate to coat and let the excess chocolate drip into the bowl. If the stem has fallen off, use a toothpick inserted in the center of where the should be and dip the strawberry. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. If decorating, sprinkle on the sprinkles at this time. Re-heat the chocolate mixture in the microwave in 10 second increments if it begins to harden.
    • Cool. Allow the berries to cool completely before enjoying.

      So easy and so yummy! Nice recipe! Love the juicy sweet strawberry combined with the matcha white chocolate! I added some extra candy melt lines and sprinkles on top too to make it a bit fancier.
