Ingredients
  

2 cups white chocolate chips

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold dust

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Begin by lining an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Allow the paper to hang over the edges to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later. Set this lined dish aside.

    Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Place the saucepan on low heat and stir continuously to prevent burning. Keep stirring until the chocolate chips have melted completely and the mixture has achieved a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Mix in the Matcha: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth and combined, take it off the heat. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder, vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of warm water until you create a smooth paste. Gradually incorporate this matcha paste into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until fully blended and free of lumps.

        Enhance with Salt: Add a pinch of sea salt to the fudge mixture. This will highlight the sweetness of the fudge and create a well-balanced flavor profile. Stir well to evenly distribute the salt.

          Transfer to the Baking Dish: Carefully pour the matcha white chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread and smooth the top. For an extra kick, sprinkle your choice of optional toppings—such as crushed pistachios or shredded coconut—over the surface before it sets.

            Chill the Fudge: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or until it sets firmly.

              Slice and Serve: When the fudge is fully set, grab the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the dish. Transfer the fudge to a cutting board and slice it into squares. For an added touch of elegance, lightly dust the top with edible gold before serving, if desired.
