I made these Vanilla, Matcha & Coconut Macaroons for another recipe using my Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder which came out even better than I expected! This is also a no-bake and technically raw recipe, full of natural sweeteners, and nut-free (as long as you can still have coconut). The macaroons (or you can call them truffles) have a pleasant and sweet green tea flavor with shredded coconut and just a hint of vanilla.
Also, Kiss Me Organics shared a promo code with me to get 15% off their matcha powder on amazon. This goes for whether you are in the US or Canada, simply search for “Kiss Me Organics” and type in the code 4NC7VKLU at checkout to get your discount! This offer ends November 15th, so I definitely recommend that you take advantage of it while you can. I have some other recipes on my blog featuring their matcha powder, which you can find here and I hope you get a chance to try them out. These Vanilla, Matcha & Coconut Macaroons are definitely a good place to start if you’re looking for an easy dessert recipe that requires no baking or a lot of ingredients.
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked
- 2 Tbs coconut butter
- 1-2 tsp Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder
- 1 Tbs Lucuma powder/Coconut nectar and more to taste
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Tbs shredded coconut
- Pinch of Salt
- Drain the soaked dates and place them into a blender or food processor with the softened coconut butter. Slowly add the vanilla and the sweetener of your choice (I used both lucuma powder and coconut nectar, but you can also add more dates instead). Add in the salt and shredded coconut and keep mixing until a thicker "dough" forms.
- You want the mixture to be able to stick together and not be too runny, and if it is add extra shredded coconut. If your mixture is too solid and not sticky, add more liquid sweetener and/or coconut butter.
- When you get the right consistency, roll the dough into a ball to form a macaroon. If you'd like, roll the ball into some more shredded coconut. Set the macaroons on a covered plate to chill in the fridge before serving.
