Wash the strawberries thoroughly in lukewarm water, scrubbing off any dirt or debris.
Dry them completely by gently tapping with a paper towel or letting them air dry. It's important that they’re fully dry for the chocolate to adhere properly.
Melt the white chocolate in a non-stick pan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. (Scroll down for other melting methods) If the chocolate isn’t melting easily, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or light olive oil to help it along.
Sift in the matcha powder, ensuring no clumps for a smooth finish. Stir until fully combined, then remove from heat.
Pour the melted matcha chocolate into a heatproof glass or mug. Dip each strawberry into the matcha chocolate mixture. Working swiftly is key so the chocolate doesn’t start to harden.
Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place each dipped strawberry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once the chocolate coating has hardened, drizzle more matcha chocolate on top using a teaspoon for added texture.
Let the strawberries setin a cold place, like the fridge (or at room temperature if it’s under 68°F / 20°C) for a few more minutes.
Notes
Melt Slowly: Gently melt the chocolate over low heat while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Let It Set: Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them harden in a cool spot. Avoid touching them for at least 5–10 minutes to prevent smudging.
