There’s no mistaking it, matcha is the new ‘it’ girl drink. But, if you’re not hankering for a cup, you can turn your dessert into a green flavour bomb instead. Clarissa’s matcha brownies have the earthiness of matcha, the sweetness of white chocolate and the decadence of macadamia to keep your sweet tooth satisfied.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan with baking paper.
Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, place sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at time, until thick and creamy. Stir in vanilla and cooled chocolate mixture.
Sift flour, matcha powder and salt over wet ingredients. Fold in until just combined (don’t overmix). Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
Pour into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake 25–30 minutes or until centre is just set and a toothpick can be removed with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.
Cook’s tip
- Use “ceremonial grade” matcha for a bright green colour and best results.
- Sprinkle the brownies with a touch of sea salt, lightly dust with matcha powder or drizzle with white chocolate for a fancy finish.
