A delicious, grown-up winter treat, this Matcha White Hot Chocolate is an easy, cozy drink for cold days. 4 ingredients and full of healthy antioxidants!
Hot chocolate always has to come with warm fuzzy memories, doesn’t it? I vividly remember being about 9 – otherwise known as the age when snow was fun. My sister and I would spend hours and hours building forts and making snow angels. We’d come in the house with red noses and leave our snowpants in a puddle at the door (you know, for mom to clean up). We’d sit down to mugs of Swiss Miss hot chocolate, no marshmallows for me.
I might not have wintery white Christmases anymore, but here’s my fancy adult white hot chocolate that’s made oh so much more delicious by adding one of my favorite ingredients – matcha.
If you’re new to matcha, check out this matcha coconut latte post where I describe it a little more… or view all of our matcha recipes in our (now working again, sorry for yesterday’s glitch) recipe index.
Matcha White Hot Chocolate
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons AIYA cooking grade matcha
- 1 cup hot water
- Melt the white chocolate together with ½ cup of almond milk. Stir until smooth, then add the remaining almond milk. Set aside.
- Sift matcha into 1 cup hot water and whisk until combined and frothy. Stir this into the almond milk/white chocolate mixture and pour into 2 mugs.

Wow, beautiful pictures and an even better recipe. Sounds incredibly delicious, need to stock on matcha asap!
I drink cold matcha tea everyday, and use it in a number of ways, iincluding a matcha yogurt breakfast bowl. But I have not seen it in this incarnation – so creative. I’m not a real fan of white chocolate, but as I have sneaky liking for matcha-flavoured KitKats (which have white rather than dark chocolate) I am sure I will like this too. Pinning Stumbling etc
Matcha kitkats are so good! I was actually hoping this hot chocolate would taste like them as well. I’ll definitely have to try it.
Gosh, this is amazing!
O M G! This sounds like the best discovery since ever. Must be delicious!
This looks incredible! I can’t wait to try it out. Do you know of any vegan white chocolate chips?
Of course, I’m also into deep, dark, chocolatey treats, too: http://theinclusivevegan.com/2014/12/09/truffle-brownies/
I’m not sure, all the brands I’ve seen are packed with chemicals which is why I went with Sunspire ones (even though they’re not vegan). You should try out the coconut milk latte – it’s rich and creamy and vegan.
Mmmm, love matcha and your recipe sounds great, can’t wait to try it! Thanks!
This is the prettiest hot chocolate I ever did see! I haven’t tried a white chocolate version before, and the addition of matcha is so fun. Love!!
Matcha and white chocolate … a delicious drink! I love it!
Oh looks lovely! Wish I had a cup of that right now 🙂
Oh my gosh this looks incredible. I recently discovered matcha and I’m going crazy for it now. I’ll have to check out your other matcha recipes, they all look so great. Happy Holidays!
Thanks Lauren! I just love matcha, obsessed 🙂
delish!
Oh, I just love matcha and it pairs so well with white chocolate. Your other matcha treats look good as well 🙂
By the way, do you have any favorite brand for vegan white chocolate?
I don’t – I used regular white chocolate – maybe someone else on this thread has a suggestion?
YUM! Totally bookmarking this!
This sounds so delicious! I’m intrigued and will have to try it out.
I love the combination of matcha and white chocolate. This looks PERFECT!
Love this recipe.
It remembers me my favorite cookies : a mix with matcha and white chocolate chips…
This is a purrrrfect winter drink!
Mmm… this sounds so good. I love matcha. Will definitely try this recipe asap.
I’ve always been reluctant to buy matcha, mostly because I’m afraid it’ll be one of those ingredients that just ends up sitting in the cupboard, forgotten. But I think this recipe alone is enough to convince me to finally make the purchase! Looks delicious!
