Ingredients

• 180 grams all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons cold water
• 80 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 40 grams unsalted butter
• 70 grams granulated sugar
• 450 grams fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter in small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt and mix until the dough can be gathered into a ball.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the fresh cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix to ensure the cherries are well coated.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough gently into the pan, trimming any excess overhang.

Step 8

Arrange the cherry mixture evenly across the base of the tart shell.

Step 9

Place the tart onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
