Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup cashews, soaked for 2 hours
- 8 dates, pitted
Filling
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mango), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Drain the soaked cashews and combine them with pitted dates in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is sticky and well combined, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Press crust into pan: Transfer the cashew-date mixture to a tart pan. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press it firmly and evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to create the crust base.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated for a smooth, aromatic base.
- Fill and chill: Pour the vanilla yogurt mixture over the pressed crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Then, evenly distribute the chopped mixed fruit on top of the yogurt layer. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Notes
- For best results, soak the cashews for at least 2 hours to ensure a smooth crust texture.
- Use fresh, seasonal fruits for the topping to enhance flavor and presentation.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
- This tart is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- If dates are not sweet enough, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the filling.
