Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt white chocolate and butter together over low heat until smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs.
In another bowl sift together flour and matcha powder.
Fold the dry ingredients into the batter until smooth.
In a separate bowl mix cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until creamy.
Pour matcha brownie batter into the prepared pan.

Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

For the best color and flavor, use high-quality culinary matcha powder. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies soft and fudgy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
