Description

Indulge in the festive spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day with these delightful Green Tea Truffles, featuring a creamy matcha-infused filling and a luscious white chocolate coating.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened

2 cups powdered sugar

2/3 teaspoon matcha powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

green food coloring (gel works best)

2 ½ cups white chocolate melts or shredded white chocolate

1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for smoother drizzle)

optional pinch of matcha powder for garnish

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and green food coloring, mixing until well combined.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Once the mixture is firm, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melts with coconut oil (if using) until smooth.
Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate coating and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Optional: Drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the truffles and dust with matcha powder for garnish.
Allow the truffles to set before serving.

Notes

These truffles can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. For best flavor, allow them to come to room temperature before serving.
