Blueberry Tart


Blueberry Tart


I wanted to make a dessert for dinner and I wanted to venture out from baking cookies and brownies. This is a low calorie, healthy, dessert. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without leaving you feeling guilty. It is a light tart that has the same texture of a cheesecake. 


This recipe makes just the right amount for two tarts. 


You can substitute any fruit you would like in this tart. So if you don't have blueberries on hand don't fret! You can also combine different types of fruit. I would recommend trying raspberries or strawberries.


I think the best part about the blueberries is when some explode a little while cooking.


If you're using a nonstick pan there is no need to use additional non-stick spray. The tarts should come out clean from the pans if you simple tap the bottom of the pan to loosen it.


The first bite was the best!


You can't even feel guilty about eating this because the main ingredient is greek yogurt! I used a low fat vanilla greek yogurt.

 Ingredients

1/2 C greek yogurt (or one individual container) (I used vanilla)
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 C fruit ( I used blueberries)

1/3 C graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350
1. Mix together the butter and the graham cracker crumbs
2. Press this mixture into the bottom of two 4' pie pans or into tart pans. If you don't have these this divide it between four individual cupcake pans. If using nonstick pans there is no need to spray the pans however if you are not, then spray with a non-stick spray. 
3. Mix together the yogurt, egg, honey, and splash of vanilla. Mix until the batter is smooth and not lumpy
4. Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Then take a handful of blueberries and drop them into the batter. They will sink into the pans
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are firm but the middle is soft. Then let cool, garnish with more fruit if you want, and enjoy!
