Healthy Fruit-Tart

This healthy fruit tart features a nut-based crust, a creamy yogurt filling, and fresh fruits for a delicious, guilt-free dessert.

For the Crust

  1. 1 ½ cups almond flour

You’ll love how almond flour creates a tender, nutty crust that’s naturally gluten-free and low in carbs, making it perfect for those seeking a wholesome treat.

2. 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Coconut oil binds the crust and adds a subtle sweetness, contributing to a perfectly balanced flavour and texture.

3. 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

These natural sweeteners provide just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the tart’s delicate flavours.

4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla adds a warm, aromatic touch that enhances every bite.

For the Filling

5. 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)

Greek yogurt creates a rich, creamy filling that feels indulgent yet is packed with protein for a satisfying and nourishing dessert.

6. 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

A drizzle of natural sweetener balances the tanginess of the yogurt for a harmonious flavour.

For the Topping

7. 1 cup fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, mango, or your choice)

The colourful, juicy fruit topping makes this tart a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, offering a refreshing burst of flavour in every bite.

8. 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios or shredded coconut (optional)

These optional toppings add a delightful crunch and elevate the tart’s texture and presentation.
