Ingredients

For the soft crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water

For the creamy filling:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the rainbow fruit topping:

  • ½ cup strawberries, sliced

  • ½ cup mandarin orange segments

  • ½ cup pineapple chunks

  • ½ kiwi, peeled and sliced

  • ¼ cup blueberries

  • ¼ cup blackberries

  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

For the chia citrus glaze:

  • ¼ cup orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and just enough cold water to bring the dough together into a soft ball.

  2. Shape and chill:
    Press the dough evenly into a greased 9-inch tart pan. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

  3. Bake the crust:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Mix the filling:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.

  5. Decorate with fruit:
    Arrange the fruit in a rainbow pattern, starting from the outer edge and working inward: strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, and blackberries. Garnish with mint leaves.

  6. Make the glaze:
    In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and chia seeds. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  7. Add the finishing touch:
    Drizzle the glaze gently over the fruit using a spoon or pastry brush for a glossy finish.

  8. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
