Rice Truffles with Matcha Green Tea and White Chocolate

Instructions

• Make these decadent and simple rice truffles for any occasion, using a rich blend of rice, matcha green tea powder and vanilla, all coated in a white chocolate shell. For best results, use Carolina® Short Grain Rice for Sushi to add a creamy and delicious texture to each bite.

  Step 1

• In a saucepan, combine short grain rice, 2 1/4 cups of water, sweetened condensed milk and salt. Bring to boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

  Step 2

• Stir in matcha green tea powder and vanilla. Let stand at room temperature, covered, for about 1 hour or until cooled and thickened.

  Step 3

• Roll tablespoonfuls into balls; place on a parchment paper-lined tray.

  Step 4

• Place white chocolate in bowl; using 2 forks, dip balls into melted white chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Transfer to clean parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until chocolate is hardened.

  Fun Decoration Tip

  To add an elegant touch, drizzle more chocolate over the top in a zigzag design. Use white chocolate or dark chocolate if desired. To drizzle, use a piping bag or a plastic bag and snip off a small portion of the edge so you can more easily control your decoration.
