A simple no-bake dessert that swirls bright matcha into silky white chocolate and finishes with crunchy pistachios.
Ingredients
300g white chocolate, chopped
10g matcha powder, sifted
15g coconut oil, melted
50g pistachios (shelled), roughly chopped (lightly toasted for extra flavour, optional)
Method
Step 1
Line a baking tray or a flat baking sheet with baking parchment, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Place the chopped white chocolate and melted coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (double boiler). Stir gently until smooth and fully melted. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Spoon about a quarter of the melted white chocolate into a small separate bowl. Whisk the sifted matcha powder into this smaller portion until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Add a teaspoon of hot water if needed to help the matcha dissolve, but use sparingly.
Step 4
Pour the uncoloured melted white chocolate onto the prepared tray and spread to an even layer, about 4–5mm thick, using a spatula.
Step 5
Drop small spoonfuls of the matcha-mixed chocolate over the white chocolate in an even pattern. Use a skewer or the tip of a knife to swirl the matcha through the white chocolate to create a marbled effect. Avoid over-swishing to keep distinct veins of green.
Step 6
Scatter the chopped pistachios evenly over the surface, pressing them lightly so they stick.
Step 7
Chill in the fridge for at least 45–60 minutes until completely set. Once firm, break into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.
Step 8
Store in an airtight container in a cool place or in the fridge for up to one week. Bring to room temperature briefly before serving if stored chilled.

Recipe Notes
Sift matcha to avoid lumps and use a small amount of hot water to loosen if needed. For a cleaner break, chill until very firm; for softer shards, remove after 45 minutes.
