Ingredients
Scale
For the Vegan Shortbread Base:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- ½ cup vegan butter (113g), softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed oat milk (30 ml)
For the Matcha Caramel Layer:
- ½ cup sweetened condensed oat milk (120 ml)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (30g)
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder (5g)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup vegan white chocolate (180g), melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Shortbread Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed oat milk and flour, mixing until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into silicone chocolate moulds or a lined baking pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
- Make the Matcha Caramel Layer: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed oat milk, granulated sugar, coconut oil, and matcha powder. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble. Then reduce to low heat and continue stirring until it reaches a caramel-like consistency, being careful not to boil the caramel. Pour the matcha caramel over the cooled shortbread base in the moulds. Refrigerate or freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
- Coat with Vegan White Chocolate: Melt the vegan white chocolate gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Remove the matcha caramel-filled moulds from the refrigerator. Carefully remove each bar from the moulds and dip them into the melted white chocolate, ensuring a full coating. Place the coated bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serving: Once the chocolate has set completely, the vegan matcha Twix bars are ready to enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Decoration: Drizzle leftover melted white chocolate mixed with matcha powder over the bars, add flaked almonds before chocolate setting, or dust with matcha powder for an elegant finish.
- Storage: Keep bars refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Layering: Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to maintain distinct layers.
- Precision: Spread layers evenly to guarantee consistent flavor and texture in each bite.
- Moulds: Lightly grease silicone moulds for easier removal of bars.
- Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality matcha powder and vegan white chocolate for the best taste.
- Melting Chocolate: Melt white chocolate gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- Toppings: Experiment with extra matcha powder or a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor or garnish.
- Patience: Allow bars to set completely before slicing to preserve shape and layered effect.
