Matcha Chocolate Terrine: A Rich, Refined Winter Dessert
Hello everyone, I’m Keko from the online team.
February is a season of lingering cold.
It’s a time when we naturally crave something sweet—
yet find that simple sweetness alone no longer feels quite enough.
That is why we recommend this dessert:
Matcha Chocolate Terrine, where the deep umami of matcha takes center stage.
Smooth and richly textured,
each bite gently unfolds layers of matcha aroma and refined bitterness
a winter dessert made for grown-up palates.
🌿 What Makes This Terrine Special
Rich yet delicate texture
As it slowly melts on the tongue, the full-bodied umami of matcha spreads quietly and evenly.
Harmony of bitterness and sweetness
The creaminess of white chocolate enhances matcha’s natural bitterness and gentle sweetness,
leaving a surprisingly clean finish.
A dessert that changes with temperature
Chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed
its character shifts depending on how and when you enjoy it.

Instructions
1. Preparation
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
Line the loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt chocolate and butter
Place white chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt gently over a double boiler. Mix until smooth.
3. Add eggs and sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until combined.
Gradually add to the chocolate mixture, mixing carefully to avoid separation.
4. Add cream and matcha
Add heavy cream and sifted matcha powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and uniform.
5. Add cornstarch
Sift in the cornstarch and fold gently.
6. Bake
Pour batter into the pan.
Place the pan in a larger tray filled with hot water (water bath).
Bake at 160°C for 25–30 minutes.
The surface should be set while the center remains slightly soft.
7. Chill to finish
Allow to cool, then refrigerate overnight.
Warm the knife before slicing for clean, beautiful cuts.
