Matcha Green Tea Truffles

These Matcha Green Tea Truffles are as beautiful as they are delicious! Matcha green tea powder gives the truffles a light, delicate flavor and a beautiful light green color. I like to dust the tops with a little more matcha powder, to increase the flavor and make a bold statement.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 teaspoons matcha powder (plus additional for decorating)
• 1/2 cup/4 ounces cream
• 1 pound white chocolate (finely chopped; about 2 2/3 cups)
• 2 tablespoons ​butter (at room temperature)
• Pinch salt
• 1 1/2 pounds white candy coating

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Sift the matcha, using a fine wire mesh sifter, into a small bowl and set aside for now.
3. Pour the cream into a small saucepan, and place the pan over medium heat. While the cream warms up, pour the chopped white chocolate into a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, until the chocolate starts to melt.
4. Heat the cream until it is at a simmer—bubbles should just start appearing on the sides of the pan, but do not bring the cream to a boil. Once at a simmer, remove the pan from the heat, add the sifted matcha powder, and whisk well until the matcha dissolves.
5. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate, and whisk well until the chocolate melts and your mixture is smooth and shiny. Add the room temperature butter and a pinch of salt, and whisk until they are completely incorporated. This is your ganache.
