Instructions
-
Prepare the tart base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the tart shell — Greek yogurt, salted butter, egg white, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, salt, muesli, and almond meal. Mix until the mixture forms a thick, cohesive texture.
-
Shape the tart base: Press the mixture into tart pans, forming a shell using your fingers to ensure it holds its shape.
-
Bake the tart base: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. Place the tart pans into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
-
Prepare the strawberry yogurt filling: While the tart base is baking, wash the strawberries and blend them into a smooth paste using a mixer. Combine the strawberry paste with the low-fat hung curd and mix well.
-
Cool the tart base: Once the tart shells are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 20 minutes. Place the tart shells and yogurt filling in the fridge to cool further.
-
Assemble the tart: After cooling, gently pour the strawberry yogurt mixture into the tart shells. Return the assembled tarts to the fridge for another 10 minutes to set.
-
Serve: Once set, remove the tarts from the fridge and serve. Enjoy as a light dessert or a healthy snack during tea time!
Tips
- You can use any seasonal fruits to replace strawberries, depending on availability.
- For a richer texture, add a dollop of whipped cream or extra yogurt on top.
