These mini tarts have a crunchy cereal crust and are topped with fruit yogurt, fresh berries and a homemade caramel sauce. A great snack or light dessert made in under half an hour!
You will need:
For the crust,
Honey Nut Cheerios - 1 cup
Brown sugar - 1 tbsp
Butter - 2 tbsp, melted
For the filling,
Yoplait fruit yogurt - 2, 6-oz cups
Fresh strawberries - 4, sliced
For the caramel sauce,
Brown sugar - ¼ cup
Heavy cream - 2 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Vanilla extract - ¼ tsp
Salt - a pinch
How to:
Pre-heat oven to 350 deg.F. Lightly grease four mini tart tins. Set aside
Crust: Pulse the cereal in a food processor to crumble it. Tip into a bowl. Add melted butter and sugar and mix well to form a crumbly, slightly wet mixture.
Add 2-3 tbsp of the cereal mixture into each tart pan and using a spoon, press it down firmly in the bottom and up the sids of the pan.
Bake tart pans for 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool them before filling. I pop them into the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
Caramel sauce: Make the caramel sauce when the tart crusts are baking. Take all ingredients in a small saucepan and start heating on medium-low heat till everything is well combined.
Continue heating, whisking constantly, for 4-5 minutes or until slightly thick.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt and remove from heat. Cool slightly and pour into a jar.
Tart filling: Fill tart crusts with a few spoons of either strawberry or peach flavored yogurt. Garnish with a few slices of fresh strawberries and drizzle some caramel sauce on top before serving.
