When Matcha Meets Magnum: An Unexpected Match
You’d spot it instantly: that vibrant shade of green — on a café counter in the form of an iced latte, or in a glossy tart on a bakery’s window display. For centuries in Japan, matcha has been cherished for its distinct flavor and ritual of preparation. Today, it’s a global favorite, showing up everywhere from patisserie creations to TikTok-worthy desserts.
Now, it finds a new stage: paired with the rich indulgence of Magnum.
The result? A surprisingly perfect balance of flavors. Together, matcha and chocolatey ice cream create a dessert moment that feels both familiar and completely new.
The Chemistry Between Matcha and Chocolate
At first glance, matcha and chocolate might seem like an unlikely duo. Matcha, with its earthy, grassy bitterness and umami undertones, contrasts sharply with chocolate’s sweet, creamy decadence. But that’s exactly what makes them work.
If you’re new to matcha, pairing it with chocolate is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to fall in love with it.

FAQs
Dark chocolate is a popular choice for its bold flavor, but milk chocolate offers a smoother, sweeter balance. White chocolate also works well as it offers a buttery canvas for matcha flavors to shine.
Matcha does offer some wellness perks, like antioxidants and a calm, focused energy boost. But when it’s in a dessert, it’s best enjoyed for what it is: a delicious treat, meant to be savored for its distinctive flavor.
It all comes down to quality. Look for ceremonial or premium culinary grade matcha with a bright green hue. Store it in a cool, dark place, and avoid overcooking it as heat can dull the color.
