Ingredients
Chocolate Base
- 10 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
Topping and Decoration
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper on a tray or cookie sheet to ensure easy removal of the chocolate bark later.
- Melt the white chocolate. Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate until about halfway done, or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each until fully melted and smooth.
- Set aside some white chocolate for swirling. Spoon out four tablespoons of the melted white chocolate into a small bowl; this will be used later for decorative swirls.
- Add matcha to remaining chocolate. Sift the matcha powder into the larger bowl of melted white chocolate and stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
- Spread the matcha white chocolate. Pour and evenly spread the matcha-infused chocolate onto the prepared parchment paper to form an even layer.
- Create swirls. Drizzle the reserved white chocolate over the matcha layer, then use a chopstick or toothpick to swirl the two chocolates together artistically.
- Add strawberries and sea salt. Sprinkle the freeze-dried strawberries and sea salt flakes evenly over the surface for texture and flavor contrast.
- Chill to set. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
- Cut and store. Break or cut the set chocolate into irregular, bite-sized pieces and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best texture and flavor.
- Matcha can be sifted to avoid clumps and ensure smooth mixing with the chocolate.
- Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense flavor without adding moisture, keeping the bark crisp.
- You can customize the bark by adding nuts or other dried fruits according to your preference.
- Store the bark in the refrigerator as white chocolate can soften at room temperature.
