Ingredients
Crust
- 15 pitted Medjool dates (about 230g), soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
- 3/4 cup (100g) unsalted cashews
- 3/4 cup (100g) unsalted almonds
Filling
- 1 cup (250g) Greek yogurt (plain or any flavor)
Topping
- Assorted sliced fresh fruit (e.g., berries, kiwi, mango, peaches, etc.)
- Optional: 2 Tablespoons apricot preserves mixed with 1 Tablespoon water for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare Tart Pan: Spray the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan, cake pan, or pie dish with nonstick spray and line with a parchment paper circle slightly larger than the pan. The parchment keeps the crust from sticking and the spray helps it stay in place.
- Soak and Process Dates: Soak the 15 pitted Medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain thoroughly and cut the dates in half to prepare for blending.
- Make Crust Dough: In a food processor or blender, pulse the soaked dates, cashews, and almonds together until they form a sticky, thick dough with the nuts broken up but still slightly textured.
- Form Crust: Press the nut-date dough evenly into the prepared tart pan, covering the bottom and partially pressing it up the sides to create a crust shell.
- Add Yogurt Filling: Spread the Greek yogurt evenly over the crust, creating a smooth layer.
- Decorate with Fruit: Arrange your sliced fresh fruit attractively on top of the yogurt layer.
- Optional Glaze: If desired, mix apricot preserves with water and brush gently over the fruit to add a glossy finish.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Slice and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Ensure dates are soft by soaking well; this helps create a cohesive crust.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make tart removal easy.
- Customize the fruit topping based on seasonal availability and preference.
- The optional apricot glaze adds shine and a touch of sweetness but can be omitted.
- This tart is best enjoyed within 1 day for optimal freshness but can last up to 3 days refrigerated.
