# Ingredients:

1 cup coconut butter

1/3 cup cream from canned coconut milk (the thick part that rises to the top)

04 -
2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
05 -
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 -

# Instructions:

Start by gently melting the coconut butter in a saucepan over low-medium heat, being careful not to let it burn. Once it's smooth and flowing, add the thick cream from your canned coconut milk and the coconut oil, whisking continuously until everything is well incorporated and silky smooth.

Now for the star ingredients! Whisk in the vibrant matcha green tea powder, making sure to break up any clumps for a smooth consistency. Next, pour in the vanilla extract and maple syrup, continuing to stir until the mixture becomes uniform with a beautiful green hue throughout. The aroma at this point should be absolutely divine - earthy matcha balanced with sweet vanilla.

Line a 6×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides to help with removal later. Pour your matcha coconut mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly into all the corners. Give the pan a few gentle taps on the counter to release any air bubbles. Now comes the hardest part - patience! Let your creation sit at room temperature for about an hour before transferring to the refrigerator to set completely, which usually takes 2-3 more hours.

Once the matcha coconut fudge has fully set and feels firm to the touch, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into bite-sized squares or rectangles. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they'll keep beautifully for up to a week - if they last that long!
