Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
1 ½ tsp matcha powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
For the matcha layer, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Add matcha powder and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Pour over the cooled crust and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
To create the strawberry cream layer, blend strawberries with lemon juice and sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and cream cheese until soft peaks form. Fold in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract. Spread over the matcha layer and refrigerate until fully set, at least 2 more hours.
Once set, cut into bars and serve chilled.
