The yogurt and jam tart is a light and crumbly dessert, perfect for everyday breakfast or snacks. A tart made with my basic yogurt shortcrust pastry recipe and filled with lots of jam. I used raspberry jam, my favorite, but you can fill this dessert with any jam you prefer. If you want a more indulgent version, then I suggest using hazelnut cream, which you can easily prepare at home. Alternatively, you can fill the tart with lemon custard instead of the spread or jam.
Soft and light, the yogurt tart with jam will also be the perfect dessert to bring to a dinner with friends and family. What do you think, shall we prepare it together? Then follow me in the kitchen, because the yogurt and jam tart will be ready in a click!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt (whole)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam
Tools
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Fork
- Rolling Pin
- Work Surface
- Baking Pan for 8-inch tarts

Steps
First, prepare the yogurt shortcrust. Place the yogurt, sugar, and egg in a bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined. Then add the flour and baking powder and continue mixing with the spoon until the flour has absorbed all the liquids in the dough. Start kneading with your hands until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Wrap the shortcrust dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
After the resting time, take the dough and divide it in half. Roll out one half between two sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Transfer the shortcrust with the parchment paper into the baking pan and press it well along the edges using your fingers.
Prick the bottom of the shortcrust with the tines of a fork and spread the jam evenly. Roll out the remaining shortcrust and cut strips about 1/2 inch thick. Place each strip over the tart to form a sort of web.
Finally, bake the tart in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 25 minutes or until the surface is golden brown.
After baking time, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool before serving.
