Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons green tea powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove the cream from the heat and add the white chocolate chips, butter, green tea powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to soften.
- Stir the mixture with a whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- If you prefer a more intense green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir until desired color is reached.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once the mixture is chilled and set, use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls.
- Roll the truffles in matcha powder until evenly coated.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
