This modern and elegant dessert shows how well matcha goes with yogurt, chocolate and fruit. I was surprised when I tasted this lovely dish. It was wonderful to taste the silky combination of mango with the white chocolate and yogurt and I could get the subtle flavour of matcha too. It’s the perfect ending to a special party!

PREP: 30 minutes SERVES: 4
Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, cut into small cubes
4 tsp sugar divided
31/2 oz high-quality white chocolate
11/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 tsp matcha powder
Instructions
Mix the mango with two teaspoons of the sugar and macerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the white chocolate in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted. Remove from heat and whisk until smooth. Cool slightly and gradually whisk in the yogurt. Divide the mixture between two small bowls.
Whisk the remaining two teaspoons sugar and matcha powder in another small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon hot water and whisk to form a smooth paste. Add the paste to one bowl containing the white chocolate-yogurt mixture. Whisk to blend well.
Divide the mango into four and place them in attractive glasses. Make a well in the green yogurt mixture and pour the white yogurt mixture into the centre. Fold gently once or twice just enough to create swirls. Spoon over the mango, dividing equally. Chill until you are ready to serve.
I love anything with matcha and with mangoes, and seeing them together in your dessert is wonderful! 🙂 It sounds absolutely perfect for get-togethers! Thank you for sharing the lovely recipe 🙂
Thank you. I’m glad that you liked the recipe.
This is quite a healthy recipe. I have just read somewhere that Greek yogurt is a healthy addition to the diet because it is packed with nutrients.
Hi. Yes it’s quite healthy. I’ve started subbing Greek yogurt for cream cheese in recipes and it works quite well.
Thank you for providing an alternative on this one.
