Chocolate fondue with a nutritious twist? Count me in. Using superfood Matcha and vegan-friendly white chocolate, this delicious flavour combo is sure to be a crowd favourite.
If the festive colours aren’t enough, the 10-minute prep time is sure to win you over. Whether you’re short on time or after an easy – yet delicious dessert (or afternoon treat), go on and indulge yourself to a flavoursome recipe that feels as good as it tastes.
Simply melt, mix and dip – it's as easy as that. Top it off by dipping the tip of the strawberries into hemp seeds and you’ve got yourself a nutritious snack when sweet cravings are on the rise.
Your nutritious superstar: Matakana Superfoods Matcha Organic Tea Powder
Finely grounded using green tea leaves, Matcha is a feel-good superfood packed with antioxidants and amino-acid L-theanine, which is used as a supplement for
welcoming relaxation – perfect just in time for the holidays.
My favourite ways to enjoy Matcha:
- Added to smoothies (superfood summer smoothies anyone?)
- Baked goods or raw treats
- Mixed into your morning cuppa – I recommend this stress-busting matcha latte, mmm.

Looking for an extra energy boost? After healthy fats to add to your diet? Hemp hearts are sure to impress. Great for vegans and vegetarians alike – or anyone looking to up their protein intake, this plant-based goodness is a great option for healthy energy – and it’s rich in omegas too.
With a subtle nutty flavour and delicate crunch, it’s a superb topping for your morning cereal, groundinto flour or as a dessert topping over your favourite homemade slice – our lemon ginger protein slice is a good place to start.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate or dairy-free alternative Loving Earth Organic White Chocolate
- ½ -1 Tablespoon Matakana Superfoods Matcha Organic Tea Powder
- 2 punnets fresh strawberries
Sprinkling
- Crushed nuts or Chantal Organics Organic Hemp Hearts
Method:
- Pop your washed and dried strawberries into the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare the matcha chocolate- this will help the chocolate to set into a hard shell quickly.
- Melt the white chocolate either over a bain-marie or in the microwave until completely melted and smooth.
- Mix in the matcha powder until evenly incorporated.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted matcha chocolate until generously coated. Place onto a piece of parchment paper and repeat with remaining strawberries until all are coated.
- If decorating your strawberries with crushed nuts or hemp seeds make sure you sprinkle or dip before the chocolate hardens.
- If you have any leftover chocolate, spread onto a small piece of parchment paper, top with additional matcha powder, chopped nuts and hemp seeds and let harden. Break into pieces and enjoy.
