Mango-Blueberry Tart

-

A fat-conscious baked oil pastry replaces traditional pie crust, and a tofu-yogurt blend takes the place of whipping cream in this luscious cream tart. It's topped with blueberries, mango, and kiwi slices, but by substituting other fresh fruit you have on hand, you can really change the look and taste of this delicious dessert.


Ingredients


  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup cooking oil
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free milk
  • 8 ounces firm light silken tofu (about 1 cup)
  • 1 (6 ounce) container plain fat-free or low-fat yogurt
  • ¼ cup purchased lemon curd
  • ½ teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1¼ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1¼ cups chopped, seeded, peeled fresh mango
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and chopped

Preparation

  • Prep
  • Ready In
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add oil and milk all at once. Stir gently with a fork. Form into a ball. On a well-floured surface, slightly flatten the dough. Roll from the center to the edge into an 11-inch circle. To transfer, wrap the pastry circle around the rolling pin. Unroll into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Ease the pastry into the pan without stretching. Press the pastry into the fluted side of the tart pan, trimming the pastry as needed. Line the pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for about 5 minutes more or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
  2. Meanwhile, combine tofu, yogurt, lemon curd, lemon peel, and vanilla in a food processor. Cover and process until smooth, scraping sides as necessary.
  3. Spread the filling into the cooled pastry. Top with blueberries, mango, and kiwis. Cover loosely and chill for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Equipment: 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom

Homemade truffled mushroom pizza that you can throw on the grill in the summertime or prepare in the oven during the winter months! So easy to make and taste like something you’d get at a fancy pizza parlor! Fancy truffled mushroom pizza.. at home. There are only a few things that make me as happy as movie night and homemade pizza on Friday evenings. If you asked me about an ideal Friday night in my mid-twenties, I guarantee that wouldn’t be my answer back then. But now. As I slowly creep up further and further in my thirties, I’ll gladly be in bed before midnight, stay in on the weekends and prefer it, and not only will I not complain about Brussel sprouts, I favor eating them. With all these new preferences, I also have started to like homemade pizza over your no-frills takeout pizza joints. There’s just something about being able to control the toppings, amount of sauce (or skipping it all together), and having the freedom to throw a big arugula salad on top of my truffled mushroom ...
