Ingredients

For the Matcha-Infused Crust:

  • 1 cup vegan graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon culinary-grade matcha powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt

For the Vibrant Green Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews soaked overnight and drained
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons culinary-grade matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 2 limes stirred in at the end

Instructions

  • Prep: Line your mini cheesecake pans with liners or grease lightly.
  • Matcha Crust: Mix crumbs, coconut, butter, sugar, salt, and the 1/2 tsp matcha. Press into the pans and freeze for 15 mins.
  • Green Filling: Blend cashews, lime juice, coconut milk, syrup, oil, vanilla, and the 2 tbsp matcha until silky smooth. (Matcha can take an extra 30 seconds to fully incorporate).
  • Zest: Hand-stir in the lime zest.
  • Assemble: Pour over the crusts and smooth the tops.
  • Freeze: Freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • Garnish: Sift a teeny tiny bit of extra matcha powder over the top before serving.
