Yogurt Tart recipes have recently become a bit of a TikTok sensation, partly because they are so easy to make and partly because they use only three ingredients. A few changes to these recipes, and you're on your way to a Weight Watchers friendly low point dessert suitable for any of the WW plans.
My yogurt tart creation includes more ingredients than some of the recipes, but, hey, what is an extra ingredient or two between friends! It's still ridiculously easy to make.
What makes this such a great Weight Watchers recipe is that you use fat free vanilla yogurt (which tends to be quite sweet), only a small amount of flour, and the only fat that it contains comes from the four eggs which are whisked in.
Click on blue 'WW Personal Points' button in the recipe card to find out exactly how many Points a slice of this Yogurt Tart will be for you. You can also track it directly to your App from there (you will need to be logged in to your WW App for this to work)!
If you still follow the Green Plan, a portion of this Yogurt Tart is 4 SmartPoints, but if you follow the Blue, Purple or the old Freestyle plan then a portion will only set you back 3 SmartPoints.
Pretty good for a filling and tasty dessert!
Although these recipes have become a bit of a hit on TikTok recently, many years ago Julia Child used to make a very similar baked yogurt 'cake', but hers included some ground almonds (not so WW friendly) and was baked with the fruit on top.
I prefer to bake the tart without fruit and then serve the berries on the side.
It is also great served with a spoonful (or two) of your favourite sugar free jelly / jam!
The ingredients I used
I used a fat free vanilla flavoured yogurt in this recipe. This worked out at 11 Points for the whole recipe (for me!).
Although I haven't tried, I am sure that you could use fat free vanilla flavoured Greek yogurt or Skyr yogurt instead for very similar results. Low fat Skyr yogurt may even bring down the Points a little!
Some of Yogurt Tart recipes use full fat vanilla yogurt but this almost doubles the Point value per slice. So for this Weight Watchers version make sure that you use fat free yogurt.
I used 4 medium sized eggs.
I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract as I found without it, the tart didn't have much of a vanilla flavour.
Lastly, I used cornstarch (cornflour if you are from the UK). This thickened the batter - giving it a nice texture when baked.
I like to serve this tart with fresh raspberries but it also pairs well with blueberries, strawberries or tinned peaches .
Tips on making this recipe
Add the eggs to the yogurt mixture two at a time (picture 2). There is no need to whisk them before adding.
Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine (picture 3)
Whisk in the cornstarch (picture 4) until the mixture is smooth and lump free.
I lined the ovenproof dish by lining four strips of parchment paper / grease proof paper across the dish (as seen in picture 5).
Carefully pour the batter on top of the parchment paper (picture 6) and then trim the excess parchment paper away (picture 7).
Bake in the oven until the tart has puffed up and turned golden brown (picture 8). The tart will deflate when it is taken out of the oven, but this is normal and nothing to be concerned about.

Hi marianne, I tried this tonight I would add some sweetner as the UK style yogurt doesn't seem sweet enough. The additional berries made the dish excellent.
Let's see if it's just as good cold as warm. "Comeon" breakfast
