Ingredients

• 150 g All-purpose flour
• 50 g Unsalted butter (reduced-fat)
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 15 g Powdered sugar
• 150 g Low-fat cream cheese
• 100 g Nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 250 g Fresh strawberries
• 2 tbsp Reduced-sugar strawberry jam
• 1 tsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold reduced-fat butter, cut into small pieces. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and mix gently to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press it into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Step 6

While the crust cools, prepare the filling by combining the low-fat cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Once the crust is cool, spread the creamy filling evenly over the base.

Step 8

Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries, then arrange them decoratively on top of the filling.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, gently heat the reduced-sugar strawberry jam with 1 teaspoon of water until it becomes a smooth glaze. Brush the glaze over the strawberries to give them a shiny finish.

Step 10

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy your low-fat Tarte aux Fraises!
