Perfect for gifting or a sweet snack, this no-bake recipe is easy to prepare and showcases a beautiful marbled design with green matcha swirls.

Ingredients

Scale

Toasted Quinoa

  • 3 tablespoons toasted quinoa or tiny puffed quinoa

White Chocolate Bark

  • 14 oz baking white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder, sifted

Instructions

  1. Toast the quinoa: Heat a wide pan over medium-high heat until hot. Pour in the quinoa and keep shaking the pan constantly to prevent burning. The quinoa will start popping—let this continue for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and transfer the toasted quinoa to a bowl.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 of the white chocolate in 1-minute increments, stirring between each until about a quarter remains unmelted. Stir continuously off heat to ensure the remaining chocolate melts smoothly without burning.
  3. Form the white chocolate bark: Spread the melted white chocolate evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, keeping the desired thickness. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of toasted quinoa on top evenly. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the matcha white chocolate: Melt the remaining 1/4 portion of white chocolate in a separate bowl. Once melted, sift in the matcha powder and mix well until smooth and evenly green in color. Dollop this matcha chocolate mixture onto the white chocolate bark and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it artistically, creating a marbled effect. Optionally, sprinkle extra toasted quinoa on top for added crunch.
  5. Refrigerate until set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or in the freezer for about 30 minutes until the bark is completely hardened. Once set, remove from the tray and break into uneven pieces. Store the bark refrigerated as it may soften at room temperature due to the lack of tempering.

Notes

  • Toasted quinoa adds a delicious crunch and nutty flavor to the bark but can also be used as a salad topping if extra is made.
  • This recipe does not temper the chocolate; therefore, refrigerating the bark is recommended to maintain firmness.
  • Use high-quality baking white chocolate for the best texture and flavor.
  • The matcha powder should be sifted to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth mixture.
  • Feel free to experiment with thickness and swirl patterns for a personalized look.
