Ingredients

• 150 grams Whole wheat flour
• 75 grams Low-fat unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 100 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 grams Fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Cut in the low-fat unsalted butter using a fork or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess.

Step 7

Prick the base of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 8

Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, heat 200 grams of fresh blueberries with honey over medium heat until they start to release their juices.

Step 10

Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then add it to the blueberry mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.

Step 11

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 12

Top with the remaining fresh blueberries and spoon the cooled blueberry sauce over the tart.

Step 13

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving for the best flavor and texture.
