This slow cooker 3-ingredient matcha latte fudge is the sort of little kitchen trick that feels almost too easy to be true. It brings together the mellow sweetness of white chocolate, the earthy warmth of matcha, and the creamy comfort of a coffeehouse treat in a simple bite-sized square. For warm August gatherings, when nobody wants to fuss over a hot stove, a slow cooker does the gentle work and turns out a neat pan of fudge that looks special enough for a party table.
Serve these fudge squares chilled or at cool room temperature on a dessert tray with fresh strawberries, iced coffee, or a pitcher of cold milk. They also fit in nicely beside lemon bars, shortbread, or vanilla ice cream, especially if you are putting together a summer spread for showers, reunions, or a backyard pool party.
Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Matcha Latte Fudge
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons matcha powder
Directions
1. Lightly line a small square pan or loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the fudge out later. Set the pan aside.
2. Add the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to the slow cooker. Cover and heat on low for about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chocolate is mostly melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Whisk in the matcha powder until the fudge mixture turns smooth and evenly green. If you would like a gentle latte look, reserve a spoonful of the white mixture before adding the matcha and swirl it back in at the end.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. If using the reserved white mixture, drizzle and swirl it lightly across the surface.
5. Chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm enough to slice. Lift from the pan, cut into small squares, and serve.
Variations & Tips
Stronger Matcha Flavor: If you prefer a bolder tea taste, use 2 1/2 tablespoons of matcha instead of 2. Sift it first so it blends in smoothly without little green specks.
Cleaner Slices: For tidy party-worthy squares, chill the fudge thoroughly and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts. A short rest at room temperature, about 5 minutes, can make slicing even easier.
Latte Swirl Finish: That reserved spoonful of plain white mixture gives the top a pretty coffeehouse look. Do not over-swirl, or the ribbons will disappear into the green.
Storage Tip: Keep the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Separate layers with wax paper or parchment so the squares stay neat and glossy.
