Healthy Greek Yogurt Berry Tart
Description
The tart’s crust is made by finely processing almond meal with crystallized ginger, coconut sugar, and salt before adding melted coconut oil and egg white to bind the crumbs. Pressed into a tart pan with a removable bottom, the crust is baked at 350°F until just browned. After cooling, the filling made from plain Greek yogurt blended with maple syrup is spread evenly within the crust. Fresh berries such as blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are arranged on top, providing color, texture, and natural sweetness.
This dessert balances a nutty, crisp crust with creamy tangy yogurt and fresh fruit. The crystallized ginger adds a subtle warm zing to the crust. The tart is suitable as a light sweet course or snack, pleasing those who appreciate natural ingredients and fresh flavors.
Notes indicate the recipe can be adapted to dairy-free diets by using plain dairy-free yogurt, and fruit toppings can be varied according to preference, offering flexibility.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1/3 cup crystallized ginger
- 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 egg large, white
- 2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt I like Siggi's or Fage
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups fresh berries I used a mix of blueberries, strawberries and blackberries
Instructions
- Set oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 by 1 1/8-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.
- Prepare crust: In a food processor, pulse the almond meal with the crystallized ginger, coconut sugar and salt until finely ground. Add the coconut oil and egg white and pulse until everything is evenly coated and sticking together. Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned. Let the crust cool completely.
- Make filling: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the maple syrup.
- Serve: Spread the yogurt in the crust and arrange the berries over the surface of the yogurt. Cut the tart in slices and serve.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the full-fat Greek yogurt with plain dairy-free yogurt.
- Feel free to use different fresh fruits or berry combinations to vary the topping according to taste.
