3 Elements to This Greek Yogurt Fruit Tart
They are saying that good issues are available 3s, and the stunning layers on this Greek yogurt fruit tart aren’t any exception.
Sure, you learn that appropriately. Simply 3 simple substances—cashews, almonds, and Medjool dates—come collectively for the crust of this tart.
The recipe used to name for simply cashews and dates, and the crust was actually tasty, but it surely was very delicate and sticky. I actually just like the addition of almonds as a result of they add just a little texture. The crust remains to be good and delicate, however isn’t as flimsy. Style testers agreed, so that you’ll see that replace within the recipe under.
Begin by soaking the pitted dates in heat water for about 10 minutes, then reduce them in half earlier than processing with the nuts. Why soak the dates first? They’ll mix a lot simpler with the nuts.
Mix cashews, almonds, and the soaked and halved dates in a meals processor or blender, and pulse/mix till a moist “dough” types. Utilizing a spatula or the again of measuring cup, press the crust right into a lined 9-inch tart pan, ensuring to cowl the underside and up the perimeters. Should you don’t have a tart pan, use a 9-inch spherical cake pan or 9-inch pie dish.
Can I Make the No-Bake Tart Crust With out Dates?
Sure. Raisins or dried cranberries are a high-quality substitution.
Can I Make the Tart Crust With out Nuts?
Sure. For a nut-free crust, attempt the shortbread crust from this lemon blueberry tart. Lengthen the bake time to 25 minutes. Or attempt the pastry crust from this contemporary fruit tart or the graham cracker crust from this peanut butter cup tart. Comply with the baking directions for these crusts. Cool fully earlier than including the yogurt and fruit.
Use Your Favourite Greek Yogurt
For the Greek yogurt filling, merely unfold your favourite taste into the crust. That’s actually it—no different substances or fillers required. (It’s like this recipe retains getting less complicated as we go on, eh?!) I often use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt as a result of it pairs properly with a wide range of fruits. Strawberry yogurt could be incredible with sliced strawberries on prime. Plain Greek yogurt works for a much less candy possibility.
Add Your Fruit Toppings
On the subject of the fruit topping, just about something goes. I like utilizing kiwi, mandarin oranges, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Be happy to make use of all or any of those toppings, or select your favourite number of contemporary fruits.
Get artistic with the fruit tart “artwork” on prime, and you need to use my fruit pizza as design inspiration. Or for those who’re serving a crowd, depart the tart plain and let friends add their very own fruit. Children love to assist with this.
Finicky fruits: I don’t suggest watermelon as a result of its excessive water content material, or frozen fruit due to the juices they launch when thawing. You should use banana or apple slices, however they brown shortly. Brush them with just a little lemon juice and serve the tart immediately.
For an non-obligatory shiny end, you possibly can brush the contemporary fruit with a mix of apricot preserves and water.
What to Serve With Your Greek Yogurt Fruit Tart
You don’t must serve this with anything if it’s for dessert (perhaps some chocolate chips on prime?!). However for those who’re serving this as a part of your brunch or breakfast menu, it rounds out properly with a breakfast casserole or quiche, or a batch of do-it-yourself biscuits or croissants.

Directions
Spray the underside of a 9-inch tart pan, 9-inch cake pan, or 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper. (I often simply reduce a parchment paper circle barely bigger than the pan.)

Soak the dates in heat water for 10 minutes. Drain them, after which reduce in half earlier than utilizing.

If desired, use salted nuts for a salty-sweet crust.
