Scale
Matcha Cream Filling
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (use coconut if dairy free)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
- pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, condensed milk, 1 tbsp coconut oil, matcha and salt using an electric mixer. Mix until fully combined and a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Scoop the matcha filling by the tablespoon, roll into a ball and gently flatten into a disc. Place on parchment until all the filling is gone.
- Place the candy centers in the freezer for 15 min to set.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl until chocolate is melted, then add the 1 tsp coconut oil until combined.
- Remove the centers from the freezer. Place a candy center on a fork and lower into the melted chocolate. Flip to coat then lift out of the chocolate and gently shake to remove excess chocolate. Place back on parchment.
- Once all the chocolates have been coated, return to the freezer for 5 minutes. If there is extra chocolate, place in the microwave again for about 30 seconds if its beginning to thicken.
- Remove candies from the freezer and drizzle each with the extra melted chocolate. Return to the freezer to set for about 20 minutes. Then store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
