O matcha, also known as green tea powder, is an incredible ingredient and it is possible to make several recipes with it in confectionery. This time, our super Brazilian Matcha Brigadeiro.
Still in the party rhythm #PF10anos, you can’t miss brigadeiro on a birthday, right? And now with one of my favorite flavors: Matcha! You can also call it green tea.
This recipe already existed on the blog, but not in video form. So, I think it’s worth updating the recipe and post!
O matcha It combines well with condensed milk, balancing its sweetness. And the milk, softening the normal bitterness of the tea. A very, very good pairing. Oh, if you like matcha.
Matcha Brigadeiro (Green Tea)
Makes: 21 units, 18g/each
- 395 g condensed milk (01 can/box)
- 50 g UHT cream (box/can, 20% fat)
- 03-12 g matcha (powdered green tea) (green tea powder)
- 100 g chocolate branco (blossoms or shaves)
- 20 mL vegetable oil (to curl)
1 cup: 250mL | 1 tablespoon: 15mL.
- In a pan, mix condensed milk and cream. Cook until the brigadeiro curls up when it starts to come away from the pan.
- Add the matcha, the amount varies depending on the strength of your matcha and preference. I suggest adding every 3g (~1tsp) and tasting.
- Transfer to a container and let cool completely.
- Rub oil on your hands to prevent the brigadeiro from sticking, take a portion of the brigadeiro (15g) and roll it up.
- Spread the white chocolate blossoms, pressing lightly. Place in brigadeiro mold nº4. White sprinkles can also be used.
- Chocolate branco blossoms: it is a product purchased ready-made, it is possible to make it at home. But you need to know chocolate decorating techniques. The one used is from Callebaut.
