Valentine's Day Menu: Dessert of Passionfruit & Mango Tartlets

Passionfruit & Mango Tartlets

This is a really easy and quick dessert to make but is surprisingly satisfying at the same time ! I love the contrast between the tartness of the cinnamon greek yoghurt and the almond flavoured biscuits.

These tartlets can be made in mini tart tins but I am serving them in tall, pretty glasses here.

 (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

30g Amaretti biscuits

30g Digestive biscuits

30g Butter (melted)

150g Greek yogurt

1 Mango, diced

3 Passionfruit, seeds removed

½ teaspoon of ground Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract or the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod

A couple of sprigs of mint

1 tablespoon Icing sugar

Method:

  1. Place the biscuits in a food processor and whiz until broken up or place in a bowl and bash with the end of a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the butter in to the biscuits
  3. Pour the biscuit base into the bottom of the glasses and pat down
  4. Leave to chill in the fridge while you get on with the rest.
  5. Place the greek yogurt into a mixing bowl and add the cinnamon & vanilla extract. Whisk gently to combine.
  6. Prepare the fruit by combining the passionfruit with the mango.
  7. You can have everything prepared and in the fridge ahead of time up to this point.
  8. When you are ready to serve, place the greek yogurt mixture on to the biscuit base and spread out evenly.
  9. Pile the mango and passionfruit on top of the yogurt
  10. Place some small, young mint leaves on top and sprinkle the icing sugar over.
