I feel green is the new pink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My no-bake vegan matcha tart <\/strong>may not have the colors of love, but the feeling it evokes is undeniably the same. With one velvety, luscious bite, the smile threatens to meet the ears, and a warm, tingly feeling <\/strong>fills the pit of the stomach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And oh, the tart is as euphoric as love. So, while it may not seem <\/em>like the dessert for Valentine\u2019s Day, it definitely is \u2013 particularly if your palate prefers no-bake, refined-sugar-free, dairy-free treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re a stickler for rules, go ahead and chop some strawberries on top of the tart to bring in hues of red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is matcha?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve made plenty of baked and no-bake tarts. But this was my maiden voyage with matcha, which is a Chinese green tea that is processed into a fine powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name roughly means ground or rubbed tea because the leaves are stone-ground. Its nutritional benefits are potent as it\u2019s packed with antioxidants. It also has more theanine than other tea varieties. It\u2019s the amino acid that keeps you stimulated without making you hyper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make vegan matcha tart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is simple and asks for no effort on your part, except for a tad bit of pre-planning when it comes to the filling. You can make one big tart in a 6-inch pan or follow my path and make four small ones in 3-inch pans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Make the tart base.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
