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 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.
