Homemade Matcha Chocolate Bar Recipe (Just 3 Ingredients)
Making your own matcha chocolate bars at home is easier than you think, and the result is a genuinely beautiful treat. The earthy bitterness of matcha pairs perfectly with sweet white chocolate. These are also wonderful as gifts.
Ingredients
- 200g good-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- Optional: pinch of sea salt, toasted sesame seeds, dried strawberry pieces
How to Make It?

- Remove from heat. Sift in matcha powder and stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour into silicone chocolate bar molds or a parchment-lined loaf tin.
- Add optional toppings immediately. Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles.

- Pop out of molds and wrap in parchment paper to gift, or store in the refrigerator.
What You’ll Need:
Jade Leaf Matcha Culinary Grade 100g
Tips
- Use culinary-grade matcha for a stronger green colour
- Overheating white chocolate causes it to seize. Keep the heat very gentle
- These bars keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use dark chocolate instead of white?
Yes, though the green colour will not show as vividly. Dark chocolate and matcha are a delicious, earthy combination.
Why does my chocolate look dull?
Dull chocolate usually means it was overheated or overworked. Heat slowly and do not stir excessively.
