Brownies? A total classic. Never let you down. They’re that ride-or-die dessert or afternoon treat that you can’t just say no to. Always rich, always gooey, never a disappointment. But what if they were even better?
Yup, you know it. We’re adding matcha. But like, not making matcha brownies (which, tbh, sounds amazing, and I will be trying soon). This is a no-bake, low-effort, high-reward option: a matcha whipped cream to put on top that takes your brownies from basic to legendary. It’s your shortcut to viral-worthy dessert content.
Perfect for:
✅ A cozy night in
✅ A cute picnic moment
✅ An afternoon sweet craving
Oh, and did I mention matcha green tea gives these brownies that chef’s kiss balance between sweet and earthy? Plus, it’s green, and green = ✨ iconic ✨.
What you’ll need
-
Homemade or store-bought brownies (depends on how much time you have to make these and how you’re feeling. We don’t judge!)
For the matcha cream:
-
¾ cup heavy whipping cream (chilled for best results)
-
1 ½ tbsp sugar
-
2 tsp Matcha DNA matcha powder (aka the best matcha green tea powder you’ll ever use in your recipes)
-
Extra matcha powder for dusting (because vibes)
How to make these beauties (easiest recipe you’ll find)
-
Prep your brownies: If you’re baking them from scratch, let them cool completely before topping. If you’re buying them at your local store (like me this time), unwrap them, put them in a cute plate and pretend you made them. No one will know, right?
-
Make that matcha cream: In a bowl, simply whip the heavy cream, sugar, and matcha tea powder together until thick, fluffy, and dreamy. Taste test (because why not) and adjust if needed. If you’re feeling extra, you can also add a bit of vanilla extract for added sweetness and flavor.
-
Assemble & serve: Spread the matcha cream generously over your brownies. Finish off by dusting extra matcha powder. Slice, serve, and snap a pic before they disappear.
My recommendation? Enjoy them with an iced matcha latte for the ultimate matcha-on-matcha experience. It’s never enough matcha, bb 😌🫦
