For the Chocolate Shells

8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate, melted
Green food coloring, optional

For the Filling

2 teaspoons matcha powder
4 tablespoons white hot chocolate mix
1/4 cup mini marshmallows

For Decoration

Melted white chocolate for drizzling
Extra matcha powder for dusting
Sprinkles, optional

directions

I melt the white chocolate until smooth.
I brush a layer of melted chocolate into a silicone half-sphere mold and chill it until firm.
I add a second layer of chocolate to strengthen the shells and chill again.
I carefully remove the chocolate shells from the mold.
I fill half of the shells with matcha powder, white hot chocolate mix, and mini marshmallows.
I warm the edge of an empty shell on a warm plate and press it onto a filled shell to seal the bomb.
I repeat the process with the remaining shells.
I decorate the tops with drizzled white chocolate, a light dusting of matcha powder, and sprinkles if desired.
I allow the decorations to set before storing or serving.
To enjoy, I place a bomb in a mug and pour 8–10 ounces of hot milk over it, stirring until smooth.

Servings and timing

Servings: 4 hot chocolate bombs
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Chill Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Variations

I use ruby chocolate for a colorful variation.
I add crushed freeze-dried strawberries to the filling for a fruity twist.
I mix vanilla powder into the filling for extra sweetness.
I use dairy-free white chocolate and marshmallows for a dairy-free version.
I add a small amount of peppermint extract for a refreshing flavor combination.

storage/reheating

I store the hot chocolate bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, away from heat and direct sunlight. If my kitchen is warm, I keep them in the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Since the bombs are designed to melt into hot milk, reheating is not necessary.

FAQs

What type of matcha works best for this recipe?

I prefer culinary-grade matcha because it blends well into drinks and provides a pleasant balance of flavor and color.

Can I make these hot chocolate bombs in advance?

I often prepare them several days ahead of time because they store very well and are perfect for gifting.

Do I need a silicone mold?

I find that silicone sphere molds make the process much easier, but similar molds designed for hot chocolate bombs will also work.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

I can, although I find that white chocolate complements the earthy flavor of matcha particularly well.

What kind of milk should I use when serving?

I enjoy using whole milk for a rich drink, but oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk also work wonderfully.

I love these Cute Green Tea Matcha Hot Chocolate Bombs because they transform a simple cup of hot milk into a fun and comforting matcha beverage.
