Ingredients (serves 8 to 10)
- 200 g white chocolate
- 120 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 120 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 2 tablespoons of matcha powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Optional: 50 g white chocolate chips or macadamia nuts
Matcha brownie preparation
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 170°C. Line an approx. 20 cm square cake tin with baking paper.
2. Melt the white chocolate
In a saucepan over low heat or in a bain-marie, melt the white chocolate with the butter. Stir until smooth.
3. Prepare the mixture
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until smooth. Then add the melted chocolate-butter mixture.
4. Fold in the dry ingredients
Sift together the flour, matcha, and salt. Gradually pour them into the mixture and fold gently.
Add white chocolate chips or nuts if you wish.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the surface.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The centre should remain slightly soft to retain the brownie's characteristic texture.
6. Leave to cool
Take the brownie out of the oven and leave it to cool completely before cutting it into squares.
Additional tips:
Choose quality matcha
Culinary or premium grade matcha will provide a brighter colour and a less bitter taste.
Do not overbake the brownie
Baking for too long risks making it dry. Check the baking with the tip of a knife: it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Add some crunch
Macadamia nuts, flaked almonds, or pistachios pair perfectly with matcha.
