Ingredients
Scale
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 and Topping
- 1 cup (250g) Greek yogurt (plain or any flavor)
- Assorted sliced fresh fruit (such as berries, kiwi, mango, or peaches)
- Optional topping: 2 Tablespoons apricot preserves mixed with 1 Tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Spray the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan, cake pan, or pie dish with nonstick spray and line it with a slightly larger round of parchment paper. This ensures the crust doesn’t stick and is easy to remove.
- Soak Dates: Place the pitted Medjool dates in warm water and soak for 10 minutes to soften. Drain well and cut each date in half.
- Make the Crust: In a food processor or blender, pulse together the soaked dates, cashews, and almonds until a sticky, thick dough forms and the nuts are finely broken up. Press this dough evenly into the prepared pan, pushing slightly up the sides to form the crust.
- Add the Filling: Spread the Greek yogurt evenly over the nut-date crust, creating a smooth layer.
- Decorate with Fruit: Arrange assorted sliced fresh fruit on top of the yogurt layer in an appealing pattern.
- Apply Optional Glaze: Mix apricot preserves with water and gently brush this glaze over the fruit to add shine and a touch of extra sweetness, if desired.
- Serve or Store: Slice and serve the tart immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Medjool dates should be softened by soaking to make processing easier and ensure a cohesive crust.
- Use unsalted nuts to keep the flavor neutral and balanced.
- The optional apricot glaze adds a beautiful shine but can be omitted for a less sweet finish.
- This tart is best enjoyed within a few days when kept refrigerated.
- Feel free to customize the fruit topping based on seasonality or preference.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
- For a firmer crust, refrigerate the tart for at least 30 minutes before serving.
