Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat lemon flavored yogurt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup whole-grain pastry flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 mango, finely diced
- 3 kiwi fruits, peeled, quartered and sliced
- 24 small mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Place the yogurt in a strainer lined with a paper towel. Put the strainer over a bowl and place in the refrigerator to drain and thicken for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
- In a medium bowl, beat the oil, sugar and egg until creamy. In a separate bowl whisk together the whole-grain pastry flour and the all-purpose flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg/oil mixture, stirring, until they are combined and a soft dough is formed. Roll the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin or tartlet pan with cooking spray.
- Roll the pastry dough into a 1/8-inch thick sheet. With a biscuit cutter or small glass make 24 rounds, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place rounds in the pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp. Remove tartlets from oven and set aside to cool completely. You can make the shells up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
- Transfer the drained yogurt from the strainer to a small bowl. Discard the liquid. Fill each tartlet with 1 teaspoon of thickened lemon yogurt. Place about 2 teaspoons of diced mango and 2 slices of kiwi and a mint leaf on top of each tartlet. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately after filling.

Reviews
I am a very healthy eater. However, I always find it difficult to find an ambrosial dessert dish that will satisfy even the most pickiest eaters. This desert was a huge hit at my dinner party and no one could believe me that it was whole wheat and lower in fat. I only drained the yogurt for 2.5 hrs b/c of a time crunch but it still worked well.
Agree that the dough can be hard to work with – it just takes patience. But the end result is great. The mango and kiwi are a great combination. And, the tart shell was a big hit – my daughter even ate them without a filling inside. I can imagine that the tarts would taste wonderful with alternate ingredients like fresh berries in lieu of the mango/kiwi. Yummy.
Pretty time consuming, and the dough is a bit hard to work with. But the results are amazing. They’re delicious and gorgeous!
We love the marriage of all the wonderful
flavors in these tartlets. They all complement each other perfectly. You must try them!
