Matcha Brownies

! Turn on subtitles for cooking instructions
As you can easily guess, these brownies contain matcha powder. It's a green tea powder native to China.
The inclusion of matcha in our brownies - brings out the earthy, slightly bitter taste of matcha with the sweet and creamy flavor of a classic brownie. In terms of composition, though, this brownie is closer to a blondie. After all, white chocolate is used here, which gives the dessert a nice green hue.
When you take a bite of this matcha brownie, you first taste the mild, buttery and slightly bitter flavor of the matcha, which gradually gives way to the sweetness and creaminess of the white chocolate. The overall flavor is rich and layered - sweet, creamy, earthy, with notes of bitterness and a whisper of vanilla.
⏱ Cooking time - 2 hours and 50 minutes overall. Includes 20 minutes of preparation and cooking + 2 hours 30 minutes unattended.
