No Bake Greek Yogurt Fruit Tart.

Such a fun post to share today. Not only is today’s recipe delicious (and healthy), but I’m also sharing a new cookbook that has quickly become one of my favorites, Inspiralized & Beyond.
First, for those of you who do not know Ali of Inspiralized, you should familiarize yourself with her. She’s possibly one of the hardest working, most creative people out there. Inspiralized & Beyond is Ali’s third cookbook. Yes, third cookbook. In like three years or something crazy like that.
She’s also the creator of the Insprializer.
And she’s a new mom too…
It’s safe to say Ali can do it all, and her recipes are nothing short of delicious and healthy. I could go on and on about how impressive she is, but really you just need to go buy her cookbooks and find out for yourselves. Each one if full of recipes geared towards healthy eats and each book is just as good as the last.
Today though, let’s focus in her newest cookbook, Inspiralized & Beyond.
Ali’s previous two cookbooks were all focused on Inspialized recipes. Meaning, all the recipes had some kind of spiralized veggie included in them. Her third cookbook however, is a mix of inspiralized and non-inspiralized recipes. Instead of doing an entire book focused on spiralizing, Ali went half and half. Some of the recipes include spiralized ingredients, while some of the recipes include creative new ways to use veggies. I’m talking things like potato toast, zucchini pizza, and veggie tots.
It’s a really fun, and a creative way to get more vegetables and other healthy foods into our diets. And again, each recipe is delicious.
Clearly, I am very excited to be telling you all about this cookbook.
When I received the book in the mail, I of course looked through and flagged all the recipes I wanted to make, but it was this tart that really stood out to me. It might be because I am craving all things fruity and summery right now, but either way I knew this was the recipe I had to share with you guys.
The base of the tart is a raw pecan and date filled crust. You guys, the crust itself is good enough for me to eat on its own. I know that sounds a little odd, but I love both pecans and dates. Put them together and I have my ideal sweet, but healthy snack. Blend them up to make a tart crust?
Now that’s genius.
The crust gets chilled in the freezer for a bit, and then filled with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey for sweetness.
It’s so super simple, but at the same time, so super good. Ali recommends serving this up for breakfast, but I can see myself snacking on this all day long, or even serving it as a light dessert.
I should also note that I might have used double the amount of fruit that Ali suggested. Sorry, but I couldn’t help it. I had to cover the entire tart with the sweet springtime strawberries.
What has me really excited about this tart is that with summer approaching I can have fun with fruit combos and use a mix of the fresh stone fruits and berries that the farmers markets will soon be filled with.
Peaches and raspberries with a drizzle of honey?
Yes, please.
Lastly, I have to share that on the day I made this tart, Asher happened to be at my house (watching Gilmore Girls, of course) and when I finished shooting she asked to try a slice. I was a little worried she might not think the tart was sweet enough, but she LOVED it and ate an entire slice. She said it was just like eating a bowl of yogurt with fruit, but better.
So this tart is kid approved too. Cool. Cool.
And with that, I think we all need to take thirty minutes to make this easy tart today. Because let’s just be real, Tuesday needs a fun treat to liven it up a bit.

Ingredients
Crust

2. Press the dough into an 8 or 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom to form a flat, even crust. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes or up to 1 week.
3. To make the filling. Remove the crust from the freezer and carefully slide it onto a serving plate. Spread the yogurt over the crust. Top the yogurt with the berries, then drizzle with honey. Slice and serve.

Thank you! I hope you love this!
The heat is coming over here and it decided to stay ( so tells the weatherman); this is perfect to keep on 🙂 Thank you !
Thank you so much!
Looks like a great recipe to share with my after workout buddies! Can you give me a suggestion for a different nut to use other than the pecans? Could walnuts work?
I Really any nut will work. I am sure walnuts will be great! I’d recommend cashews and almonds too. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
So funny, I saw this email and thought “I’ve seen this before…” and then remembered Cookie And Kate shared her take on the same the same thing! If two bloggers I follow (I follow Ali as well) made this, then I should probably try it! Here’s a link to her version: https://cookieandkate.com/2018/no-bake-greek-yogurt-tart-recipe/
Yes! You totally should try it! I hope you love this Amber!
Loving all the summer fresh berries now in season! Can’t wait to put them to use in this delicious tart 🙂
send a slice over, please!!
So wish I could!! Really glad you like this Ruth!
This recipe is amazing! I’ll definitely be making it again 🙂
I subbed walnuts for pecans because I wasn’t dragging my toddler to the store in the rain, and it was a great substitution.
So happy you loved this! Thank you Lauren!
Hey Tieghan,
I love this fruit tart and agree the fruits are lovely! I love how simple and whole it seems and would love to make this (maybe with vegan yogurt). I like the use of the early summer fruits! I hope you’re enjoying the weather and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s post.
I am sure it would be great with vegan yogurt! I hope you love this Kristin!
So Yummy …
Thank you!
I’m making this for breakfast!
I hope you love it! Thank you!
Such a gorgeous tart, this is my dream summer breakfast! 🙂
Thank you!
This is fabulous! I made 6 individual tarts for my weekend guests. My husband promptly stated he wasn’t a fan of dates when I unloaded the groceries, however when he took that first bite he quickly changed his mind! Haha! Everyone LOVED the simplicity yet packed full of flavor and texture. 5 stars!!
I am so happy to hear that!! Thank you Denise!
Can we do the same crust with walnuts AND pecans, or walnuts and almonds ?
Yes, any nut will work. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
Are the cashews and almonds substituted one or the other for tha walnuts intherecipe and the Dates Remain?
HI, I am sorry, I am not sure what you are asking. Can you clarify?
Are the cashews and almonds substituted
When using almonds or cashew as substitute for walnuts Do you stlll use Dates?
Yes, use the dates. I am not sure what you are asking in regards to the nuts, but you can use any nut you wish. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
Do you think it will hold together when you make it one day in advance or if you have leftovers?
I found it better to eat the day of, but if you keep the leftovers in the fridge, it still taste great! Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
OMG this is so stinkin delectable! Super easy to make!!!! Thank you for this super fab recipe?
Thank you so much Marigrace! So glad you loved this! xTieghan
So, I just tried this recipe, but used Neglit dates instead and it totally fell apart.. like granola. So, maybe the medjool dates are the key?
Hi Sharon! Yes, medjool dates are key! They are very plump, moist, sticky and help things hold together. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Looks great! Just checking that I serve this straight from the freezer -no defrosting?
Hi Lulu,
Yes that is correct! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I’m always looking for great desserts that are gluten and dairy free for my boyfriend’s mom. Would this recipe work with a non-dairy yogurt like coconut or soy? Or does it really need that tanginess of traditional Greek yogurt?
Hey Kate,
I would say a non-dairy yogurt would work here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can’t wait to try this . But wanted to know after putting the Greek yoghurt and fruits do you put it back in the freezer or can you then keep it in the fridge?
Hey Samar,
You could put it in the refrigerator, I like to serve this after I add the toppings though. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Made this and loved it . Tasted so fresh and healthy !
Yes! So happy to hear that! Thank you Samar! xTieghan
