Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed mint leaves
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to the glass bowl, stirring continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent the matcha powder from burning.
- Sift the matcha powder into the melted chocolate mixture, whisking thoroughly to ensure no lumps remain and the color is evenly distributed.
- Add peppermint extract and gently fold in the crushed mint leaves, stirring until ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours or until completely set and firm.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
