2. Line 4 doughnut holes in a tin with plastic wrap. Divide the mixture into 4 and using your fingers, press into each one to fill and smooth out on the top. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
3. Now gently melt the coconut oil with the white chocolate until smooth, then remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and matcha tea powder.
4. Remove from the chilled doughnuts from the tin and place on a wire rack with something underneath for excess glaze.
5. Spoon over the matcha white chocolate to cover the tops and sides of each doughnut, then sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries.
6. Return to the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
7. When you’re ready to serve, simply eat one straight from the refrigerator.
