This recipe originally comes from Shannon Abdollmohammadi, previously of The Messy Apron blog. Shannon has shared many amazing matcha recipes with us and we love this one for a Valentine's Day treat for yourself, or to share! We've added some vegan alternatives for veg-friendly foodies!

High quality matcha has notes of dark chocolate, so what better to pair it with than chocolate? This decadent confection makes a very special gift for a tea lover.
