Recipe Star

Matcha Powder is a pure leaf version of your average green tea meaning you get all the health benefits this mighty leaf has to offer. Rich in antioxidants, matcha provides protection from harmful free radicals, which are the molecules responsible for aging, tissue damage and even some inflammatory diseases. The antioxidants found in matcha are also known to increase metabolism, control blood sugar and lower cholesterol. The caffeine level in matcha is much less than that of coffee and because of all it’s health properties, there is no jitter or crashing like with coffee. Just a clean, focused energy – without the cortisol response that can mess with our adrenals and stress our body. If all of that’s not enough – no doubt you’ve heard that matcha can aid in: digestion, weight loss & metabolism and natural detoxification. Read more here!

My favorite Matcha (quadruply screened for toxins) >>

If you love the ritual of a morning drink like coffee, you’ll love whisking up your matcha with this. It’s great for travels or to take with you to the office – it dissolves in water and you instantly have your cup of matcha ready!

Matcha is a huge part of my morning drink rotation. I’ve mentioned before on the blog, while I love coffee – I don’t love what it sometimes does to me! But everything in moderation, and I’d prefer to “crowd out” vs. quitting something I enjoy. By crowding out, I’ve been able to find new drinks that make me feel great in the morning… matcha is at the top of that list. When I drink it, I love using coconut milk to froth and make a latte with or in the summer – iced matcha is where it’s at!!!! (recipe)

So I basically took everything I love about the drink, and turned it into a raw pie. This is the birth of that pie… I hope you love it as much as I do!! A big green-lipped kiss to you all! XO

This raw, dairy-free treat is easy to make and will be a favorite this summer sitting in your freezer. The bitter green matcha combined with creamy coconut and a touch of natural sweetener will feed your dessert craving without a sugar overload.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Set Time: 1 hour
Yield: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 full fat coconut milk can
  • 1 Tbsp matcha powder culinary grade or ceremonial, I love PIQUE TEA
  • 1-2 Tbsp sweetener raw honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey or maple syrup

Instructions:

  • Line a loaf pan (8×6) with parchment paper.
  • Mix crust ingredients together in a food processor: flour, coconut, seeds, oil and sweetener (last 5 ingredients listed above).
  • Dump the crust mixture into your lined loaf pan and using your hands, press the crust evenly on the bottom of the pan. You can stretch the crust to slightly come up on the long sides of the pan, but should keep it pretty flat.
  • Place the pan in the freezer while you make the filling.
  • To make the filling, blend the first 4 ingredients together (coconut milk, matcha, sweetener and vanilla) until you have a smooth mixture.
  • Take the pan out of the freezer and pour the filling over top. Spread evenly with a spatula. Add back into the freezer and let set for at least an hour.
  • When ready to serve, simply use the parchment paper to lift the pie out of the pan and slice in triangle pie slices after letting sit for 10 minutes or so to soften a bit. Optionally garnish with sifted matcha powder over top and flaked coconut on the edges. Serve!

  1. Do you only use coconut cream, or whole milk? I’m afraid that with whole milk, it’s still too liquid

  2. I love everything about this and have been looking forward to it since you posted that pic on insta! Your lightly sweetened treats are perfect for making both my sweet tooth and stomach happy 🙂
