Homemade Matcha Chocolate Chips
These homemade matcha chocolate chips combine high-quality white chocolate and sifted culinary-grade matcha powder to create small, vibrant green chips with a subtle earthy flavor. The mixture is melted and carefully piped into tiny mounds before cooling to retain their shape, making them a delicate and visually distinctive addition for baking projects. They work well as a substitute for regular chocolate chips, lending a unique balance of sweetness and the slightly bitter taste of matcha.

Ingredients
- 50 g white chocolate chopped into small pieces, good quality
- 8 g matcha sifted, high-grade culinary
Instructions
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the chopped white chocolate into a heat-safe glass bowl. Microwave on medium heat in 20 second increments until completely melted.
- Add in matcha powder and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Prepare a piping bag fitted with a thin round pastry tip, about ⅛" in diameter. Place the bag into a tall glass jar and fold the excess bag over the lip of the jar so the bag stands upright.
- Transfer the mixture into the piping bag with a spatula.
- Squeeze out any excess air and steadily pipe small mounds onto the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Work quickly so that the chocolate doesn't firm up and harden.
- Place the baking tray in a cool place, or in the refrigerator until completely cool and firm.
- Release the matcha chocolate chips by gently tugging the parchment paper and store in an airtight container away from heat.
- Use in recipes in place of chocolate chips, such as my Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookies.

- Use high-grade culinary matcha powder for the best color and taste.
- Pipe the mixture quickly after melting to prevent the chocolate from hardening prematurely.
