I love baking there’s no doubt about that but from time to time I like having the luxury of enjoying a delicious dessert without having to wait a long time and without having to open the oven. A healthy breakfast Dessert in less than 30 minutes, who wouldn’t want that? So I gave myself the luxury of delicious treat without too much fuss and effort. For moments like that, I turned to this super easy and delicious, and I have to insert healthy Fruit Tart. No flour, butter, eggs and no refined sugar added. If you replace the Greek yogurt with Vegan yogurt, you’ll end up with a No Bake Vegan Fruit Tart, how about that? Sounds crazy delicious? Wait till you try it.
Let me give you a heads up, this is not your typical tart. There’s no flour, butter, sugar or eggs in this tart. What does it even mean? Only good and healthy stuff for a change, but it is absolutely amazing especially if you love fruits and yogurt, and nuts! This is the easiest tart I had ever made, and yours too if you try it. No baking needed! The food processor will do most of the work for you, the most that you need to do is the fun part, which is to slice the fruits and arrange it on top. How easy is that?
I love this part, because I get to decorate it the way that I want it. I can play around with what fruits to use, whatever is in season and whatever goes well together goes in! It is that flexible. Even the nuts, you can choose whatever nuts you like.
Everything that I like to eat for breakfast is present in this fruit tart. Why so? Because underneath this fresh fruits is a base of puréed dates and nuts, all natural and no butter or sugar added, I think I already said that but it is worth reiterating it, it just sounds too good to be true but it is really true.
What are the ingredients to make No Bake Fruit Tart?
Pitted Dates – the common one is the Medjool Dates. They come with seed so do not forget to remove it after soaking it.
Rolled Oats – to make the crust more stable and to give a nice texture
Granola – for added texture
Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt gives additional creaminess to the tart and it work well with the fresh fruits
Fruits – a perfect fresh topping for the tart. You can use any fruits that you like.
Honey – although optional, I recommend drizzling small amount on top. It works well with yogurt and fruits and adds sweetness since there is no sugar in this recipe.
How do you make No Bake Fruit Tart?
Easy!! The base tart was made from only 3 ingredients. Rolled Oats, Granola and Dates. That’s its! The process is as easy as putting all the ingredients in a food processor. Process away until it turn into a consistency of a paste. To add texture, add loose granola. You can buy it in packs or you can even get it from bulk section of the grocery. By just making the crust, you are already 80% done. The remaining thing to do is to spread yogurt on top and put any kind of fruits that you like. Arrange it in the way you like it. To make it easier, you can cut the fruits you are using in bite size pieces and just scatter them on top, it would look rustic but nice.
Wait, there’s more! It also has Greek Yogurt instead of whipped cream, another healthy substitution, and of course the top is obvious, fresh fruits and more fresh fruits. Finally, a drizzle of honey on top sealed the deal for this breakfast tart. Your really have to try this. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
11-15 Medjool Dates (1 cup packed), pitted and soaked for 10 minutes, drained.
1 1/2 cups Nuts (I used all pecans, but a mix of almonds, walnuts, pecans, and/or cashews will all work!)
1/2 cup Loose Granola
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (Any flavor works)
Assorted sliced fresh Fruit
1 tbsp Honey/Agave or any sweeter you have
Instructions:
Prepare the Pan: Spray the bottom of a 9-inch tart or cake pan or a pie dish with nonstick spray and line the pan with parchment paper on top. Set aside. (The spray helps the parchment stick to the pan, making spreading the crust easier. The parchment prevents the crust from sticking to the pan. If you don’t mind the taste of nonstick spray on the crust, you don’t have to use parchment. Just spray the pan with the nonstick spray and add the crust.). You can also use smaller tart pan, the crust will be thicker.
Prepare the Dates: Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel then remove the seed.
Make the Crust: Pulse the dates and cashews together until a thick “dough” formed and the cashews are all broken up, as pictured above. The dough will be moist from the oil in the nuts. Add loose granola and manually mix to distribute.
Press in a Pan: Press evenly into prepared tart pan and partly up the sides. Use your fingers to push the crust up to the side of the pan.
Topping: Spread the yogurt on top of the crust. Decorate with fresh fruit. Drizzle with honey.
Makes 6-8 slices
Make ahead tip: The crust can be made 1-2 days in advance. Press in the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap touches the crust to avoid getting dry. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Continue with step 4. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
