Matcha Ganache
This delicious, creamy matcha ganache is made right in the microwave and set in the fridge. You can use it to frost brownies or fill macarons, cupcakes, and more! (note: A 1x batch makes enough to fill a dozen macarons or cupcakes)

Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 6 ounces white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon culinary matcha powder
Instructions
- Add 6 ounces white chocolate chips and ¼ cup heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds, then mix using silicone spatula. If the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave at 10-second intervals, mixing until smooth.
- Sift in 1 tablespoon culinary matcha powder and stir until combined.
- Place bowl into the fridge and stir every 15 minutes until the ganache is thickened to your desired consistency.For example, if you want to use the ganache as a cupcake filling, it may be easier to work with the ganache before it is fully set. If you want to fill macarons, you will want to chill it longer until it is thick enough to hold its shape when piped.It can take up to 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully set.
- Enjoy! :)
Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. The larger the batch, the longer it needs to chill.
Storage: If not using the ganache immediately, I recommend covering the top with cling wrap to avoid a skin forming on top. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months. If needed, you can reheat it in the microwave at 5-10 second intervals, stirring in between.
