Healthy Greek Yogurt Berry Tart
This Healthy Greek Yogurt Berry Tart features an almond meal crust subtly sweetened with crystallized ginger and coconut sugar, baked to a lightly browned crisp. A filling of plain full-fat Greek yogurt sweetened with maple syrup is spread into the crust and topped with fresh mixed berries, creating a fresh, creamy dessert with a crispy base and bright fruity accents.
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.
