Yield Makes about 2 cups, enough for 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon matcha, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath. Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer syrup to ice bath, stirring occasionally, until syrup is cool to touch, 15 to 20 minutes. (Syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
  • In an electric mixer, cream butter on medium-high until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. While mixing, slowly add syrup into butter and continue mixing on medium-high until mixture comes together, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low and add matcha. Store buttercream at room temperature if using the same day, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.

GREEN-TEA TRUFFLES

We don't often call on white chocolate, but when we do, we've got our reasons. In this case, we use it with creamy ganache and sweetened matcha, or green-tea powder. The tea's subtle sharpness reins in the sweetness of the white chocolate, and its natural color adds an unexpected soft green hue. As for tea's antioxidant properties, there may not be enough of the green here to protect you from cancer and heart disease, but what is there can't hurt! This recipe was inspired by Mary's Chocolates of Belgium, experts in high-quality chocolates with artful designs.

Yield Makes about 24 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups/310 g finely chopped premium white chocolate
1 1/2 cups/360 ml heavy cream
2 green-tea bags
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
About 1/4 cup/55 g matcha (Japanese green-tea powder)
3/4 cup/70 g powdered sugar
1/2 cup/15 g crispy rice cereal, crushed

Steps:

  • 1 In a double boiler, partially melt the white chocolate over simmering water until it's semiliquid but still lumpy. Place the cream, tea bags, and salt in a heat-proof measuring cup and microwave for 1 minute. (Alternatively, heat these ingredients in a small saucepan just until they simmer, then cool for 1 minute.) Remove the tea bags. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream mixture and the melted chocolate. Add the vanilla. Keep stirring until the mixture smooths into a well-blended ganache.
  • 2 Cool the ganache in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • 3 With two spoons, scoop 1-in/2.5-cm balls of the ganache onto a baking sheet. Roll the balls with your hands into smooth, uniform shapes. Chill if necessary.
  • 4 Sift the matcha and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Mix in the cereal. Dip each ganache ball into the matcha mixture and shake off the excess. Serve at room temperature.

GREEN TEA GANACHE

The vanilla notes found in white chocolate enhance the natural flavor of green tea. Martha made this recipe on episode 508 of Martha Bakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes enough for 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons matcha

Steps:

  • Combine white chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until remaining chocolate is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine matcha with cold water, adding one teaspoon at a time to reach same consistency as white chocolate ganache. Add green tea mixture to ganache; stir until incorporated. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. If ganache remains too loose to pipe, briefly stir over an ice bath until thick enough to pipe, being careful not to let it become too firm.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality green tea. The flavor of the green tea will come through in the ganache, so it's important to use a tea that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a green tea with a delicate, floral flavor.
  • Use heavy cream with a high fat content. This will help the ganache to set properly and give it a rich, creamy texture.
  • Don't boil the green tea. Boiling the tea will make it bitter. Instead, bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the ganache cool completely before using it. This will help it to set properly and make it easier to work with.
  • Use the ganache as a filling for cakes, pastries, or chocolates. You can also use it as a glaze or frosting.

Conclusion:

Green tea ganache is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With its delicate, floral flavor, green tea ganache is a perfect way to add a touch of sophistication to your next dessert.
