Honey and Yoghurt Tart

Are you trying to think of a dessert that is equally good at dinner as it is for an impressive afternoon tea?

Of course, you are. This Honey and Yoghurt tart is a make ahead beauty that is an easy recipe plus EVERYONE always loves it.

Yes, I even promise this dessert is great 3 or 4 days after it is made.

It’s pretty simple. The trick is to cook it in a gentle oven and pull it out while it is still soft and creamy.

How to serve Honey and Yoghurt tart

Serving couldn’t be easier either…. just smother with Greek yoghurt and honey. I’ve added some blueberries. I like that they aren’t too tart and I love the dark colour too. You could serve yours with cream if you prefer but I find the yoghurt adds a lovely tang and then I can add a bit of extra honey on top without it all becoming overly sweet.

How to make Honey and Yoghurt tart

  1. Make crumbs with cookies, sugar and butter and press into the 20 cm tin
  2. Bake briefly to add crunch. This really makes a difference
  3. Mix the yoghurt, honey, butter vanilla and eggs and mix well
  4. Bake the tart till just done and cool
  5. Serve this delicious tart with yoghurt and honey

Greek products

This recipe is based on a jar of Greek honey I got when I discovered The Grecian Purveyor after returning from Greece earlier this year. If you have ever been to Greece then you probably discovered a little before me the pleasure of its simple sun ripened food. It’s a place where everyone seems to have a family speciality and they delight in sharing food with you.

My recipe uses “greek style”yoghurt. Yoghurt in Greece defies description and I do it no justice describing it as the creamiest thickest most amazing yoghurt I have ever tasted. The yoghurt on the top of this dessert is from the supermarket here in Australia, but it is creamy and tart and is a great counterpoint to the honey both inside the tart and slathered on top of it. Greek style yoghurt is thick and creamy and makes such a great partner to honey. Essentially this is like a cheesecake made with yoghurt!

The honey I used is an unusual saffron flavoured one called “Vasilissa” from an organic producer called Stayia Farm on the Island of Evia and you can find it and others here if you are desperately missing Greece too! Of course as always if you can’t get your hands on Greek honey use our beautiful Australian honey instead.

Possibly one of the things that makes this dessert easy is the crumb crust. A crumb crust usually doesn’t initiate as much fear in a cook as pastry seems to. You could possibly make this tart gluten free if you use rice cookies or another gluten free cookie. The trick with cooking yoghurt though is that it needs a “flour” to keep it from separating when it is heated. I have added a wheaten flour to mine but you could possibly play with gluten free flour as a replacement. Let me know if you try this.

    Looks delicious! If making in advance, how is this tart best stored for freshness for 3 days after it is cooked? Is it best in the fridge or outside of the fridge in a sealed container? Assume in the fridge inside a sealed container?
    Thanks!

      Hi how are you.
      As you guessed the tart will keep best in an airtight container in the fridge
      Cook gently so still soft and creamy

      The tart base is always best 1 or 2 days after baking but in saying that I have eaten this tart up to a week after cooking. It is dairy though so treat accordingly when keeping

      Thanks for writing to me

      I guess you could put it underneath the filling but I don’t think rhubarb is a good match for this. its a littl too sour

    The tart looks amazing, Tania. I first thought it was a lemon tart, I guess that gorgeous golden colour is the result of quality Greek honey…the texture is so smooth and perfect.
