Yogurt Shortcrust Tart

Today I made the yogurt shortcrust tart to fill it with apple and banana fruit puree.

I usually make fruit purees myself with fresh fruit available, but if you happen to have those fruit purees that are bought in those small jars/containers at the supermarket, it’s even quicker and will be an excellent alternative to jam tart.

Ingredients

Let’s see what ingredients we need to prepare the recipe

  • 1 egg
  • sugar (2 oz)
  • natural plain yogurt (or Greek plain yogurt 2 oz)
  • corn oil (2.5 oz)
  • baking powder (0.25 oz + 1 scoop of Cake Improver)
  • orange flavoring (4 drops or grated zest)
  • spelt flour (9.5 oz or other type zero flour)
  • fresh fruit (pureed 10.5 oz)
  • 1 pinch fine salt

Tools

A bowl, a fork, a pastry board, a round cake pan about 9 inches.

Steps

  • In a bowl, place a room temperature egg, sugar, and yogurt and begin to mix with a fork.

    Now add a pinch of salt, oil, and grated zest of an orange or alternatively 4 drops of essence in a vial. Now add a teaspoon of baking powder, about 0.25 oz, and if you have it, a scoop of Ruggeri Cake Improver.

    At this point, we gradually incorporate the flour until we obtain a soft and smooth dough, which you can roll out very easily.

  • With the dough ready, we’ll roll it out on parchment paper, then place it in our round pan and fill it. If you don’t want to use parchment paper, butter and flour the pan and then lay the dough inside.

    After rolling out the shortcrust, we fill it with the fruit puree, which this time, as I mentioned in the introduction, I didn’t prepare myself; I used the ready-made puree found in those round aluminum containers at the supermarket.

    I decorated the cake by cutting the dough with small apple-shaped cutters. You decorate it with strips or however you like. Now turn on the oven in static mode at 350°F and once hot, bake for about 25 minutes. Always do the toothpick test before finishing baking.

  • The tart is ready to delight your breakfasts, snacks, or whatever breaks you prefer.

Storage of the Yogurt Shortcrust Tart

The cake keeps in the FRIDGE for 2/3 days. Please do not leave it at room temperature, as the fruit puree could spoil and ruin the cake, especially with the arrival of the warm season.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
