What is vegan matcha fudge made of?
- White chocolate chips: In order to create a bright green appearance, you must use white chocolate chips for this recipe. Do not use milk or dark chocolate chips.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: This ingredient is made from coconut milk and sugar. It’s a dairy-free alternative to sweetened condensed milk. Similarly to sweetened condensed milk, it has a super sweet, creamy, and thick consistency.
- Matcha powder: This finely ground powder is made from green tea leaves. It has several health benefits and a beautiful green appearance.
- Vanilla extract: A dash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor.
- Salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness.
How to make matcha fudge with white chocolate chips
For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.
First, line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the edges. This will prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan.
In a large bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Shake the cans of sweetened condensed coconut milk. Pour coconut milk over the white chocolate chips.
Then, microwave it for 90 seconds. Add matcha powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together to evenly combine the ingredients.
Next, pour the matcha fudge into the baking dish. Spread evenly across the bottom of the dish. If desired, decorate with toppings.
After, chill fudge in the freezer for 2 hours or until firm. Lift parchment paper out of the pan to easily remove the fudge. Allow it to thaw for a few minutes before slicing into 16 bars. Enjoy!

Could I use regular sweetened condensed milk?
Hi Gwen! Yes, you can 🙂 Enjoy! xo
Would it taste good with coconut cream (canned) instead of the condensed coconut milk? Thanks
Hi Rosa! Thank you for asking. No, you must use sweetened condensed coconut milk for fudge. It will not work with coconut cream!
So good and insanely easy to make!!
Thanks so much, Annie! 🙂
Is there a certain brand of matcha you recommend? I see there’s ceremonial grade and culinary grade.
Hi Annie! Ceremonial grade is the highest quality and has the purest flavor. However, it is more expensive than culinary grade. Since this recipe is sweetened with the condensed coconut milk and white chocolate, it isn’t necessary to use ceremonial grade. Culinary works just fine! 🙂
PS – I used the culinary grade and it worked perfectly fine! 🙂
So glad it worked well for you! 🙂
