Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should become pale and slightly increased in volume.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, and salt in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- Gradually fold the melted white chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to maintain the airiness.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding carefully until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough brownies.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
- Cut into 8 equal squares. For clean cuts, use a sharp knife wiped with a warm, damp cloth between each slice.
- Optional: Dust with additional matcha powder or drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra decoration before serving.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate and matcha green tea powder. This will enhance the overall taste of your brownies.
- Melt Carefully: When melting the butter and white chocolate, be sure to do it in short intervals to avoid burning. Stirring between intervals helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your brownies as they bake. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs—this ensures they remain soft and chewy.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
- Add a Personal Touch: For an extra touch of elegance, consider dusting the brownies with additional matcha powder or drizzling melted white chocolate on top before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.Enjoy your baking adventure with these delightful brownies that are sure to impress!
