Directions

Step 1

Melt the Chocolate

  • Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Step 2

Make the Matcha Chocolate

  • Sift 8g of matcha into the melted chocolate.
  • Mix until smooth and fully combined, with no clumps remaining.

Step 3

Dip the Strawberries

  • Dip each strawberry into the matcha chocolate, turning to coat evenly.
  • Place on a lined tray and repeat with the remaining strawberries.

Step 4

Finish & Chill

  • Sprinkle a pinch of yuzu salt over the coated strawberries while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set.

Pro Tips for the Best Matcha Chocolate Strawberries

  • Dry your strawberries thoroughly before dipping, any moisture will stop the chocolate from sticking evenly.
  • Melt the chocolate slowly in short bursts to avoid seizing or burning.
  • Sift the matcha well into the melted chocolate to avoid any powdery clumps in the final coating.
  • Add the yuzu salt while wet so it adheres properly before the chocolate sets.

FAQs

1. Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead?

White chocolate is recommended as it lets the matcha colour and flavour shine through, but dark or milk chocolate can be used for a different flavour profile.

2. Where can I find yuzu salt?

Yuzu salt is available at most Asian grocers and specialty stores, though a good-quality flaky sea salt can be used as a substitute.

3. How long do these keep?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days for the best flavour and texture.

4. Can I add other toppings?

Absolutely. Try a drizzle of extra melted chocolate, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, or a dusting of extra matcha for a more elevated finish.
