    These Matcha Tarts with coconut and yogurt are so green, healthy and easy to make! The matcha green tea gives them that amazing colour and fills them with goodness. They're also delicious and quick.

    These pretty little Matcha Tarts are so green! That's down to them being made with matcha green tea.

    I've recently got right into drinking matcha. I've loved sitting down to warm cups of matcha latte, but I wanted to create something healthy and special - so I've come up with these matcha coconut and yogurt tarts.

    What does Matcha taste like?

    Matcha has a complex flavour that runs from grassy to sweet, making it perfect for adding to desserts. It pairs well with coconut, so I've blitzed it up with desiccated coconut, coconut oil, ground almonds and dates to make these adorable green cups that I've filled with yogurt (choose non-dairy yogurt for a vegan treat) and topped them with blueberries.

    This is a superfood-packed, sugar-free, healthy but decadent dessert. Even my kids absolutely loved them. You might also enjoy my lovely creamy drink: matcha horchata.

    These easy no-bake tarts are easy to make vegan - simply use a non-dairy yogurt. The matcha tea flavour pairs well with the coconut in this healthy, superfood-packed dessert.

      I live the idea of these but could I use good old fashioned butter in place of the coconut oil?

        I haven't tried, but butter should work - the coconut oil is just there to stick it all together and butter does that. Let me know if you try it and how you get on!

      They look so delicate and yummy! I'm still trying to get used to the taste of matcha, I find it quite strong but I love using it in small quantities in desserts for that vibrant green colour and a good hit of antioxidants 😀
