A delicious cherry yogurt tart that’s healthy enough for breakfast! Made with a date and nut tart and topped with Greek yogurt and fruit. Filled with fiber, protein and healthy fats, it’s a perfect summer treat.
Ending the week with a delicious no-bake cherry yogurt tart.
My parents are actually in Vernon for the weekend. They drove all the way from New Brunswick to British Columbia to bring Shaun’s car (plus they got to enjoy a trip across Canada, just like we did!) and I must say, it’s nice to see familiar faces in Vernon.
Moving to a new city can feel lonely at times, despite being introverted and enjoying being alone most of the time. Going to work at the hospital 4 days a week is more than enough socialization for me… Hah! Plus I have Shaun to keep me company and we get to explore British Columbia together, which is more than I could ask for. It doesn’t stop me from missing my friends and family though.
So I have so many things planned for the next few days, including cherry picking, relaxing at Kalamalka beach, walking around Kelowna and enjoying some food and wine at local wineries with my parents.
Speaking of cherry picking, Shaun and I picked 10lbs of cherries last weekend (!!), so you can expect many cherry recipes over the next month, starting with this no-bake cherry yogurt tart.
The inspiration behind this tart came from a recipe from Half Baked Harvest. I adapted it using what I had on hand of course and omitted the honey to make it fruit-sweetened. I also added oats to the crust and used walnuts instead of pecans… The crust is the best part. I honestly have to stop myself from eating all of it before even making the tart.
The crust is then topped with plain Greek yogurt and lots of cherries. You get a delicious tart that’s high in protein, healthy fats and fiber!
First, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt if plain yogurt is too tart for you. I find it balances well with the date-sweetened crust and fruit on top, but I know Shaun prefers a little more sweetness. For a vegan option, you could try coconut yogurt, although I haven’t tried it myself.
Second, you can use the fruit of your choice. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries would be great too, but I used cherries and blueberries as I had a lot to use up. Plus they’re my favorites.
That’s it! No baking required, which is a big deal if, like us, you’re living in warm temperatures all summer. Just make this tart, keep it in the fridge and eat it as dessert, snack, breakfast… If you’re like me, you’ll want to eat this all day long.

just made this with my kids for a party. they were so proud of decorating it themselves and it was surprisingly good!
That's so great! I love that it was kid approved. Hah! Thank you for the 5 stars. :)
This was so tasty! I made it for my family for breakfast as a side dish and we almost ate the whole thing! We could not believe that there was plain Greek yogurt on top because it definitely did NOT taste like sour cream! So sweet and healthy as usual :)
That's so great to hear! And thankfully it did not taste like sour cream. Hah! Plain Greek yogurt is so versatile. I'm happy your family loved it!
So yummy.. I tried vegan vanilla coconut yogurt and it was soooo yummm
I'm so happy you liked it! Vanilla coconut yogurt sounds perfect. :)
