Healthy Kiwifruit & Greek Yogurt Tart (video)
This healthy no-bake treat is made up of a coconut hazelnut cookie crust, a creamy Greek yogurt filling, and it’s topped with delicious golden kiwifruit. It’s one of the most tasty, healthy and easy desserts you’ll ever make.
Well, we’re only at the end of our second week of summer vacation, and I think I already have gotten too much sun. The kids have been busy with swim lessons and exploring the outside of our lake house. It’s been fun, but it’s been hot, hot, hot! Hence, another no-bake recipe. Not that I’m complaining about the heat, since summer is so short here in Ontario.
This recipe begins with some shredded coconut mixed with some chopped hazelnuts and graham cracker crumbs. Then I simply spread on some thick vanilla flavored Greek yogurt as the filling, and topped it with some beautiful sliced golden kiwifruit. I chose to go with a yogurt filling instead of your typical custard because I didn’t wanted to have to fuss with cooking and cooling. The Greek yogurt is thick enough to be able to slice and serve the tart nicely. It’s creamy and flavorful, and much healthier than a custard filling. Then I finished the tart with some fresh ripe golden kiwifruit.
The taste of this tart is fresh, fruity, cool and creamy, with a crumbly tropical-flavored cookie crust. It’s a delicious dessert that won’t affect your waistline.

- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (50g) finely chopped hazelnuts (or any kind of nuts)

I baked this tart earlier today to try it out and I love it! It is not only healthy but it is also not that heavy on the stomach so I can eat more than one piece. Thank you!
Gold kiwi are unknown to me but i will be looking for them. This is my kind of dessert Lily! Gorgeous photography.
Thank you so much Johanne:)
Wow, Lily, this looks so delicious! Pinned 🙂

I have never seen golden kiwis before. This dessert looks beautiful and delicious! And with the Greek yogurt, it sounds like it is also quite healthy!
Thanks Jenny:)
Soo quick and healthy! Yellow kiwis are such a beautiful fruit!
Thanks Julianna:)
We have kiwi which have green flesh – never heard of this variety. I wonder if they taste the same – looks delicious regardless.
They taste so much better. They are much sweeter and less acidic. They taste like a cross between a mango and strawberry. You have to give them a try – trust me:)
This tart looks delicious! I’ve never heard of golden kiwi. I’ll have to look for them!
Thanks and you have to give them a try. They are much sweeter and less acidic than the green ones.
Lily-
This looks so pretty! We just finished a box of golden kiwis. My daughter would love this!
Thanks! Michelle
