Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Unsalted butter (reduced-fat)
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 15 g Powdered sugar
- 150 g Low-fat cream cheese
- 100 g Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 250 g Fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp Reduced-sugar strawberry jam
- 1 tsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold reduced-fat butter, cut into small pieces. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and mix gently to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press it into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling by combining the low-fat cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Once the crust is cool, spread the creamy filling evenly over the base.
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries, then arrange them decoratively on top of the filling.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the reduced-sugar strawberry jam with 1 teaspoon of water until it becomes a smooth glaze. Brush the glaze over the strawberries to give them a shiny finish.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy your low-fat Tarte aux Fraises!
