Strawberry Matcha Stuffed Dates
These Strawberry Matcha Stuffed Dates are made with a creamy strawberry yogurt filling and a matcha white chocolate shell. They're easy to make, completely no-bake, and perfect for a healthy vegan dessert or afternoon sweet treat!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 medjool dates
- ¼ cup non-dairy strawberry yogurt
- ¼ cup diced strawberries
- ½ cup vegan white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- crushed freeze dried strawberries, optional, for topping
Instructions
- Prep the dates: If your dates aren't already pitted, slice them lengthwise (without cutting all the way through) and remove the pits. Gently open each date to create space for the filling.
- Make the strawberry filling: In a small bowl, stir together the non-dairy yogurt and diced strawberries until combined.
- Stuff the dates: Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling into each date. Transfer to the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
- Melt the white chocolate: Add the vegan white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and heat until smooth, stirring every 20–30 seconds. Stir in the matcha powder until smooth - it will turn a beautiful green color!
- Coat the dates: Dip each stuffed date into the matcha white chocolate until fully coated. Place on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, if desired. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Enjoy!

Notes
- Use ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor.
- Use fresh medjool dates. They work best for stuffed dates because they are naturally soft, chewy, and caramel-like. If your dates feel dry or firm, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then pat them completely dry before filling.
- The thicker the yogurt, the better. I've tested this recipe with several different kinds of yogurt, and a thick, greek-style yogurt creates the creamiest filling and best texture. I like Cocojune or Siggi's.
- Sift your matcha. This prevents clumps and helps the matcha mix smoothly into the melted white chocolate.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. I like to let them sit at room temperature for about 25 minutes before enjoying so the filling softens and gets nice and creamy.
