No Bake Honey Nectarine Tarts
The nectarines were hard to arrange in a rose because they were so crisp, but who cares, because they were SO delicious in the end – love that crunch! However, I do think riper peaches/nectarines would be easier. Happy (non) baking!
Honey Nectarine Tarts with No Bake Coconut Crust
Ingredients
CRUST
1/2 cup combination of nuts (1/2 cup pecans + 1/2 cup almonds, etc)
1/2 cup pitted prunes, chopped (plus more if needed)
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
FILLING
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 nectarine (or peach), thinly sliced
Directions
To prepare the crust, place the nuts and coconut in a blender and pulse until ground. Add prunes and blend until well combined and sticky enough to hold together. If necessary, add more prunes to get the right consistency. Divide the mixture between removable bottom tart pans and press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate or freeze for 2-4 hours to harden.
Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks. Fold with plain yogurt and honey, then fill the crust. Thinly slice the nectarine and arrange the slices on top of the cream in concentric circles.
Love that these look like dessert but can be a healthy mid-day snack. My kind of dessert! Great job! Pinned to my Fruit Sexy board 🙂
Never been one to love prunes either but this actually looks sooo good!

Yup, in the Texas heat (known as The Surface of The Sun, according to fiance), you do all you can to avoid generating more heat
I love how artfully you arrange the nectarine slices. SO pretty! 🙂
