This melting white chocolate brownie, delicately scented with matcha, combines richness and lightness for an irresistible indulgence. Its soft texture, slightly crunchy on the edges, and balanced taste between sweet and bitter make it a dessert as surprising as it is comforting.

Instructions

Prepare oven and mould

Preheat oven to 170°C in fan-assisted mode. Butter a 15 cm square baking tin or line with baking paper to prevent the brownie from sticking.

Melt white chocolate and butter

Cut the white chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl with the diced butter.
If using a bain-marie, melt over low heat, stirring regularly until smooth.
If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each pass to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Let cool for a few minutes before adding to the other ingredients.

Preparing the brownie brownie

In a large bowl, break the eggs and add the sugar. Whisk vigorously for one or two minutes until the mixture becomes slightly frothy and lighter in color. Pour in the melted white chocolate and mix well to obtain an even mixture.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, matcha and salt to avoid lumps. Gradually add this dry mixture to the dough, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until smooth.
For a slightly crunchier brownie, add crushed nuts (pecans, hazelnuts or almonds). Mix briefly to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Brownie baking

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
To check doneness, stick the blade of a knife into the center of the brownie: it should come out with a few crumbs clinging to it, but no liquid batter.
Remove the brownie from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before unmolding. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe notes

Presentation tips :

For an elegant visual effect, sprinkle your brownie with matcha powder just before serving.
Accompany each serving with a light drizzle of melted white chocolate or a touch of whipped cream for added sweetness.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yuzu sorbet for a refreshingly tasty contrast.

Conservation :

The brownie keeps perfectly well for 2 days at room temperature, in an airtight tin. Be sure to protect it from humidity to preserve its soft texture.
For a denser, firmer texture, you can place it in the refrigerator. This will slightly intensify its flavors.
If you prefer it even softer, reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.

Beverage pairings :

Tea: Japanese green tea like a sencha or a genmaicha (green tea with roasted rice) will harmonize beautifully with the vegetal notes of matcha.
Coffee: An intense espresso or creamy latte is the ideal accompaniment to the sweetness of white chocolate, creating a perfect balance.
Milk: A glass of almond milk or soy milk delicately complements the brownie's sweetness.
Alcoholic beverage: For a fruity touch, opt for a umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur) or a sweet sweet sakewhich go perfectly with white chocolate and matcha.
