Raw Chocolate Matcha Macaroons Recipe

I find that there is always a need for sweets that can be whipped up in just a matter of minutes. Especially with the holidays around the corner, quick, yet fabulous desserts are most welcome. That is why a dessert that requires no baking at all is number one in my books and it’s even better if it incorporates tea, too.

I don’t have to tell you that this year has been all about that powdered green tea, matcha. But, in case you aren’t tired of hearing about it just yet, here’s one more matcha infused recipe to create. As you may know from my previous posts on the powdered green tea, the highest quality of matcha is used for ceremonial purposes and prepared traditionally and this reflects its name. Other grades of matcha are available such as culinary or cooking, which is a lower quality and more affordable. It is not a grade you would want to prepare traditionally though – as the name states, using it as an ingredient for cooking and baking is its main purpose. In this recipe, I used an organic culinary matcha so you do not need the more expensive ceremonial grade.

This recipe has two parts. But, don’t let that intimidate you. While I have seen matcha macaroons before, I just had to recreate my own and drizzle mine with another favourite sweet – chocolate! Of course, we’re making that from scratch with coconut oil, cacao powder and a sweetener. Both parts, the macaroons and the chocolate, are quite simple (the hardest part is waiting for the drizzled chocolate to harden) and deliciously rewarding. Any chocolate you have left over can be used to make my Raw Chocolate Bark recipe.

    • Hi Flavia,
      I haven’t tried agave in this recipe but I think that would be a great substitution to make it vegan as I have tried it before for just the raw chocolate. I’d be curious to hear how it goes if you try it that way though πŸ™‚

  1. These sound so good! I have some matcha powder in my cupboard that needs to be put to good use! I love all the tea inspired recipes. I have a tea loving family so I will be sharing your site with them!
