Lately, I’ve been on a coconut yogurt phase, adding a little tropical feel to my morning fruit. I don’t know why I haven’t discovered this yogurt before because it is so delicious and a nice change from the typical strawberry and raspberry flavours. So it’s fitting that I try and use the coconut yogurt in this no bake recipe and I’m glad I did!
I was trying to come up with a fun no bake recipe for Earth Day, but it was harder than I thought! Apparently, I seem to enjoy making desserts that consume energy and even this one needs to use a little electricity. My sugared fruit is off the hook though and you can get the recipe here.
Ingredients
- Graham wafer crumbs
- Granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter
- Liberte Coconut yogurt
- Fresh berries or Sugared Fruit
No Bake Coconut Tart Tip
One important point to take note of when making a dessert with such few ingredients is to make sure you use the very best quality! There aren’t a lot of flavours to mask poor quality and you’ll be disappointed in your end results.
Variations
Use this recipe as a guideline and fill the wafer crust with any type of yogurt and top with whatever your heart desires – perhaps a salted caramel drizzled over vanilla frozen yogurt and granny smith apples?! You could pour chocolate on the wafer crust (freeze until hard) then fill it with a neapolitan style of yogurt (3 flavours of your choice)! The idea is this recipe is so simple and easy you can play around without the fear of your dessert not turning out! So have fun and happy non baking!
How To Make a No Bake Coconut Tart
Step One: In a bowl mix wafer crumbs and sugar together. If you’re making your own wafer crumbs, puls wafers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter to the wafer mixture and mix. Pour the mixture into a tart pan and press the crumbs down to create an even layer, making sure to press along the sides as well.
Step Two: If your wafer is too crumbly, place it in the freezer to firm up. Then spoon the coconut yogurt on top and spread it out. Cover the tart with tin foil and freeze until firm. Once ready to serve top with fresh fruit or sugared berries.

Instructions

- Pour mixture into a large tart pan (with a removable bottom, I used a 4.5″ x 14″ rectangle tart pan, you can use a 9″ diameter pan as well).
- Using your fingers press the crumbs down to create an even layer on the bottom of the tart pan and up the sides (if your wafer is too crumbly, place in the freezer to harden a little before the next step).
- Spoon yogurt on top of the wafer crust and spread out evenly.
- Cover with tinfoil and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Top with fruit or sugared berries and serve.
Notes
When refreezing the tart, remove the fruit and re-top when ready to serve again.
