Anyway you slice it, this gluten-free BLUEBERRY TART with Lemon Honey Yogurt Filling + Graham Cracker Crust is a perfect Summer dessert! (although we’ve been known to eat it any time of day!)
We usually make it early June for my son’s birthday, then again for Father’s Day, again around July 4th with some additional red berries and it is basically on repeat all summer long!
It’s super easy to make, festive and a total crowd pleaser!
The slightly tart filling pairs perfectly with the juicy blueberries and graham cracker crust for a perfect sweet-tart taste in every bite!
So let’s make it!
All you need is 9 ingredients:
lots of fresh blueberries
greek yogurt
fresh lemon juice
honey
gluten-free graham crackers (we use Schar Honeygrams, amazon affiliate link)
sugar
butter
egg white
a pinch of salt.
And it can be made partially or fully ahead of time and is super easy.
One important tip:
The yogurt needs to be drained for several hours or overnight. This is an important step so that water drains and the filling is thick and creamy. So definitely plan a day ahead!
And draining the yogurt is easy!
Literally scoop the yogurt into a cheese cloth place the entire thing in a large strainer sitting inside a bowl and gently cover and refrigerate.
Overnight the yogurt drains and releases water which you discard.
Now back to making the gluten-free Blueberry Tart…
Let’s start the graham cracker crust.
It is simply:
gluten-free graham crackers
a touch of sugar
melted butter
and an egg white.
graham cracker crust
You mix it all together in a food processor, then gently press into a tart pan and bake.
Pro Tip: As the graham cracker crust needs to cool before adding the Lemon Honey Yogurt filling, you should plan to either make the crust a day ahead, or if it’s cool outside, place outside a few minutes to speed up the cooling process
Next, on to the yogurt filling.
This is simply:
the drained yogurt
honey
lemon juice
blended together for the perfect sweet-tart taste.
Just a note, it’s not overly sweet or tart, more like slightly flavored yogurt and just perfec
Just look how creamy and luscious it is!
Before spreading the yogurt filling into the baked and cooled graham cracker crust, gently remove the tart from the baking pan.
It comes out really easily, then holding the inside of the tart, gently lift off the tart pan base. If you forget this step, you can removed the tart from the pan after filling but leave the base.
Now it’s time to assemble the tart!
Spread the Lemony Yogurt filling and then top with blueberries!
Then top with Blueberries!
You can lay out the strawberries any way you like— in a pattern or randomly, and it is going to look great!
I tend to start with an outside circle, then move to smaller circles. But I’ve also, just thrown them on randomly! It all works!
The color of fresh berries pops against the whiteness of the yogurt filling and is super pretty!
As I mentioned above, you could also switch up the fruit and top this with any combination of summer berries and it’s a standout Summer dessert!
Try a mix of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries for something different or for something festive!
While we make this mostly in the Summer/ early Fall when the berries are freshest, it is also a great dessert around the holidays if you find great looking fruit!
This Gluten-Free Blueberry Tart is the perfect Summer dessert. Graham cracker crust + lemon honey yogurt filling + juicy blueberries. Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and a total crowd pleaser. Note: Yogurt needs to drain for at least 8 hours or overnight, so plan ahead for it.
Graham Cracker Crust (makes a 9 inch round tart pan)
2cupsplus 2 1/2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbsWe used approximately 1 2/3 boxes of Schar Honeygrams pulsed in a food processor to make the graham cracker crumbs
1tablespoonsugar
Pinchof salt
3tablespoonsbutter or dairy-free buttermelted
1largeegg white
Lemon Honey Yogurt Filling
3cupsplain Greek-style nonfat yogurtdrained at least 8 hours, preferably overnight (you want to reduce the water content, so drain in a cheese cloth and strainer) We used Fage Plain 0% Fat Greek Yogurt. Any brand Greek yogurt or dairy-free Greek yogurt will work.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees & spray with cooking spray a 9 inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with sugar and salt until finely ground.
Add the melted butter and egg white and pulse until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned.
Let the crust cool completely.
Can be made a day ahead.
When ready to fill with the yogurt filling, carefully push the removable tart pan bottom up and away from the removable sides.
Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the drained yogurt with the honey and lemon juice (NOTE: The filling can be made a day ahead, just mix well before spreading into the crust the next day)
Spread the yogurt mix in the cooled crust.
Add the berries!
Arrange blueberries over the surface of the yogurt in any pattern you like.
Great question! I am going to update the recipe to reflect that we make this with plain Fage 0% milkfat Greek yogurt. Any plain Greek yogurt or Greek dairy free yogurt you love will work, but it should definitely be a greek yogurt because you want something thicker. Let me know if you make it.
Great question! While I’ve made many of our recipes with egg substitutes, I’ve never tried this one with an egg substitute. Since it’s only 1 egg white, something like a flax egg should work… let me know if you try it.
I just made this yesterday and it was a HUGE hit! I was short on time so a store-bought gf graham crust and unstrained Greek yogurt (Fage plain whole milk) were what I had to work with. We used blackberries on top and it was delicious! Took about 5 minutes to assemble.
This was delicious!!!! I used Pamela’s gf graham crackers which I felt were sweet enough so I did not add the extra sugar in the crust. I also did not have a tart pan so I pressed it into a glass pie dish which gave it a nice rustic look and the slices still came out nicely. We used red and blue berries for Memorial Day. Growing up my mom made this no bake cherry cheese pie at Christmas time that I always loved but due to digestive issues I do no eat most dairy and the pie contains condensed milk and cream cheese. I am so happy to have this alternative that tastes nearly identical and so much fresher and healthier!
This was so easy to make, and so delicious. I had to substitute with a lactose free Greek yogurt (low FODMAP restrictions), which I was afraid it might compromise the flavor or consistency..it did not at all. It was so light and , refreshing for a 4th of July celebration.
This pie is delicious. I didn’t have a lot of time so I bought a gluten free graham cracker crust to save time. My family enjoyed the pie for dessert after dinner. However my niece commented that since it is primarily yogurt we could also eat it for breakfast so we did!

This looks delicious! What kind of Greek yogurt do you use (brand and flavor)?
Great question! I am going to update the recipe to reflect that we make this with plain Fage 0% milkfat Greek yogurt. Any plain Greek yogurt or Greek dairy free yogurt you love will work, but it should definitely be a greek yogurt because you want something thicker. Let me know if you make it.
Can this be done eggless?
Great question! While I’ve made many of our recipes with egg substitutes, I’ve never tried this one with an egg substitute. Since it’s only 1 egg white, something like a flax egg should work… let me know if you try it.
So delicious. It reminded me of cheesecake because the Greek yogurt gets so thick when it’s strained! I’ll be making this all summer
Thank you! Isn’t the drained yogurt so good? So happy you love it too!
This looks good and delicious. I would like to make a smaller tart, can I half the recipes?
Great question! I have never cut it in half but it would be fine… you’ll just need to have a baking pan that you can use for the crust…
