Matcha Covered Strawberries - Cooking Like Kate

matcha covered strawberries on a white plate

Equipment

Ingredients

10-12 strawberries
8 oz white chocolate
1-2 tbsp matcha powder
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

Line a plate or small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the strawberries, then dry them very well. (Any moisture can make white chocolate thicken or seize.)
10-12 strawberries
Add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe cup (best for a deeper dip) or a small bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each round, until smooth.
8 oz white chocolate
If using coconut oil, stir it into the melted chocolate until glossy and loose.
1 tsp coconut oil
Whisk in the matcha powder until the coating is smooth and evenly green.
1-2 tbsp matcha powder
Insert a toothpick into the center of a strawberry (from the top) and use it as a handle. Dip into the matcha chocolate, swirl to coat, then lift and let the excess drip off.
Place the strawberry on the parchment paper and repeat with the rest.
Chill for 10–20 minutes, or until the coating is set.

@cookinglikekate I made these matcha covered strawberries as a sweet spring gift for Mother’s Day, birthdays, or anniversaries. I love chocolate covered strawberries and I also love matcha, so combining the two just made sense. They turned out amazing, and I even used the leftover matcha chocolate to make a quick matcha chocolate bark. Nothing goes to waste and everything is delicious. #matcha #greentea #easydesserts #easterdesserts #easyrecipe ♬ Congratulations (Piano Version) - Kim Bo

Notes

Dry Strawberries: Pat fully dry so the coating sticks and the chocolate stays smooth.
Deep Dip: Use a microwave-safe cup for easier, full coverage dipping.
Sift Matcha: Prevents clumps and keeps the coating silky.
Microwave Tip: Heat in short bursts and stir often to avoid scorching.
Toothpick Trick: Makes dipping cleaner and less messy.
Batch Note: This coats 10–12; scale up with more chocolate and matcha for more.
