Strawberry Matcha Stuffed Dates
Love matcha? Try these Strawberry Matcha Stuffed Dates, made with a creamy strawberry filling and matcha white chocolate shell. Easy, no-bake, and vegan!
If you’ve ever sipped on a strawberry matcha latte, you already know the hype around this dreamy combo. It’s unmatched!
I’m always excited when fresh, juicy strawberries are in season. As a long-time matcha lover, I couldn’t let this season pass without creating some kind of strawberry matcha recipe. June is the perfect time to celebrate this sweet duo!
Since my stuffed dates series has been going viral, I knew I had to create a recipe starring these two favorites, so that was my inspiration behind creating this recipe! I’ve never seen it done before, and thought, wow, that would be delicious…
These little bites of bliss are no-bake and super easy to make. Perfect for a quick treat or sharing with friends (if you don’t eat them all in one sitting…like me…)
As I’m writing this, I’m struggling to find the words to describe how delicious they are. The other day, I hosted a matcha-themed get-together, and my friends devoured them. They texted me afterwards saying they couldn’t stop thinking about them! If that doesn’t convince you to try this recipe, I don’t know what will! 😉

Ingredients You’ll Need
Scroll down to the recipe card to get the full recipe with measurements!
- Strawberries: Fresh, juicy strawberries are the star here, bringing that sweet, summery flavor!
- Vegan Strawberry Yogurt: I use a strawberry-flavored vegan yogurt to double down on the strawberry vibes, but a regular vegan yogurt will work just as well.
- Matcha Powder: Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor. My favorite is from Matcha Kari (you can use my code MEGAN for a discount).
- Vegan White Chocolate Chips: I melt Enjoy Life vegan white chocolate chips for the outer coating.
Optional: add a sprinkle of crushed freeze dried strawberries on top for a little extra pop!
How to Make Strawberry Matcha Stuffed Dates
- Prep the Dates: If your dates aren’t pitted, slice them lengthwise (without cutting all the way through) and remove the pits. Gently open them to create space for the filling. If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes and pat dry.
- Make the Strawberry Filling: In a small bowl, mix the non-dairy yogurt and diced strawberries.
- Stuff the Dates: Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling into each date. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan white chocolate chips until smooth. Then, stir in the matcha powder. It’ll turn a gorgeous green color!
- Coat the Dates: Dip each stuffed date into the matcha white chocolate until fully covered. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional). Pop in the fridge for about 10–15 minutes until the chocolate sets. That’s it! You’ve got the dreamiest no-bake snack everrrr!
💡 Pro Tip:
Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor, and if your dates feel dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes to make them soft and gooey again!
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best matcha powder to use?
I recommend using ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and color. It’s smooth, vibrant, and not bitter. Lower-grade matcha can taste earthy or dull, so if you’ve tried matcha before and didn’t love it, this might be why!
My go-to matcha powder is Matcha Kari’s ceremonial matcha. You can shop it with my code MEGAN for a discount!
Is matcha good for you?
Yes! Matcha is packed with health benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants, promotes brain function, and contains an amino acid called L-theanine which gives you a calm, focused energy—without the jitters or crash that coffee can sometimes cause.
