Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Watermelon
- 250 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 75 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to form a sandy, crumb-like texture.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into a tart pan, ensuring an even layer along the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the crust cools, slice the watermelon into small cubes or thin wedges, removing any seeds if present.
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey, ground cinnamon, and finely chopped fresh mint leaves to create the yogurt filling.
Once the crust is cool, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the base of the tart crust.
Arrange the watermelon pieces artistically over the yogurt filling. You can overlap them or create a pattern of your choice.
Sprinkle the tart with chopped pistachios and a few additional mint leaves for garnish.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve cold as a refreshing dessert or snack. Enjoy your Watermelon Tart Morocco!
