Author Notes
The chocolate crust is soft and rich, deep in cacao flavour from the paste. While the matcha cream is bright and light and cuts through the depth of the crust. The fresh berries bring juiciness and a burst of new flavour to each bite and, almost, cleanses the palate, ready for the next bite. —Amy Levin

1/3 cup
cacao paste or baking chocolate
-
1/4 cup
coconut butter, softened
-
1/4 cup
water, or as needed
- Matcha Cream
-
1 cup
coconut butter, softened or melted
-
1/3 cup
cacao butter, melted
-
1/4 cup
honey
-
1/2 cup
xylitol

1/2 tablespoon
lemon zest

2 tablespoons
lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons
matcha tea powder
-
2/3 cup
warm water
Directions
- Chocolate Crust
-
In a food processor pulse the first four ingredients to combine.
-
Add the remaining ingredients and process to bring together into a loose ball. Adjust the amount of water as needed to achieve this texture. The mix shouldn’t ball up in the machine, we don’t need it that moist.
-
Line a baking tin with cling film or use a silicone baking mould of your choice. I used a rectangular flan tin ( 36 x 12 cm or 14 x 4.5-inch ).
-
Press the crust evenly into the tin and then place in the fridge to set while you make the cream.
- Matcha Cream
-
Combine all ingredients, except warm water, in a blender and process until it’s smooth.
-
With the blender running on low speed, drizzle in the water through the feed hole in the top.
-
Pour the mix into your prepared crust and place in the fridge to partially set – about 15 minutes.
-
While that’s setting, wash your blueberries ( you’ll need about 350g or 2 cups ).
-
When the cream is soft to the touch but not too soft, place the blueberries on top in whatever way you desire.
-
You could also use a mix of berries, or no berries at all. But the berries make it pretty 🙂
-
Place in the fridge or freezer to set completely – about 1 hour – and then slice.
-
It will store well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for several months.
