Chocolate and Matcha Desserts: Our Recipes

Chocolate can let matcha's flavor come through or take over the dessert. These chocolate and matcha recipes include bakes to share and small assembled portions. If you'd rather let the tea lead, other matcha baking recipes range from loaf cake to tart.

We'd first decide how much space to give the chocolate. A cocoa brownie will be darker and more pronounced than a blondie. If you want the tea to stand out, start with a dessert whose batter stays light. For fresh fruit under chocolate instead of a bake to cut, matcha-coated strawberries make individual bites.

Three ways to pair chocolate and matcha

• 
  A light batter with white chocolate and coconut cuts into squares in matcha blondies.
• 
  If you prefer a dense bake where dark chocolate takes a larger role, matcha brownies can be cut after cooling.
• 
  Served warm, matcha s'mores bring biscuit, toasted marshmallow, and white chocolate cream together in small portions.

Would you prefer another bake or a smaller treat?

If a small treat appeals more than a bake to cut, matcha candies and confections offer crisp or soft bites.
