Strawberry Yogurt Tart
Strawberry Yogurt Tart is a sweet, slightly tart, no-bake dessert and so perfect during Spring or Summer or whenever, as canned Strawberries are used in the filling.
Looking for a sweet, slightly tart, no-bake dessert ? I have you covered with this Strawberry Yogurt Tart which has been a family favorite for years.
We actually live in quite a confusing world ! I have noticed that more and more since I started this (mostly) food blog.
When I just started, I found that I sometimes actually enjoyed the posts more than the recipe! That is the main reason I started this blog – to interact more with other bloggers.
Ingredients and Countries !
Right, so what is confusing – Graham Crackers, huh? What is that – and it is in every second recipe. Another thing – Crescent rolls .. in a can? No way, I was lost, totally!
And what about jelly, some countries call their jam, jelly .. okay, I worked that one out. But I knew Jello is what we call jelly.
Now, only a couple of months ago, I noticed that most of our stores now carry the BRAND “Jello” which could be either jelly or instant pudding.
What is a Tennis Biscuit ?
To give you more info on the Tennis biscuits which I love to use – it is a normal sweet biscuit with Coconut and very absorbent.
Therefore when making a dessert like this Strawberry Yogurt Tart, the Tennis biscuit layer will go softer when a filling is added, but it will remain strong enough to act as a bond.
I had some questions about this and what can be used instead, but to tell the truth, I do not know what is available in other countries, therefore I can only tell you what a Tennis biscuit is.
Update: I have since tasted Graham Crackers and tested them on some of my recipes. Slightly different in taste, but works just as well in place of Tennis biscuits !
To really set this Tart nicely, try to let it chill for around 4 – 5 hours. Three hours sets the Tart, but you have to be very careful when slicing and transferring to a plate.
Other than that, the Strawberry Yogurt Tart is a no-fuss, no-bake dessert which is ready to be chilled within minutes.

Can we use pineapple instead of strawberry
You certainly can, Tracey 🙂 Be sure to change all the ingredients which calls for Strawberry to Pineapple in that case. If using canned pineapple pieces, I would also cut them into smaller pieces (and do check the grams on the can)
Thanks so much! I looked at the site and I'll phone them as the shop is in Gauteng and I think they have a branch at a shopping center even closer to me. I'll kick myself if I find it right under my nose 😉 (with joy however!)

You have some awesome desserts! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sarah, I copied and pasted this little piece from the post – hope it helps! {To give you more info on the Tennis biscuits which I love to use – it's a normal sweet biscuit with Coconut and very absorbent, so when making a dish like this one today, the Tennis biscuit layer will go softer when a liquidy (I don't know where I get these words..) mixture is added to it, but it will remain strong enough to act as a bond}
Thanks for following me on Pinterest! I actually have family in the US (Los Angeles) and in UK (England) – but I'm in South Africa .. I'll take you up on the offer about questions regarding ingredients though .. lol ! And if I mention something strange, please ask and I'll try my best to explain what it is (Someone asked me the other day what she could use instead, which is available in the US – I couldn't answer that because I don't know)Have a great weekend!
I have wondered what your tennis biscuits were in your recipes, but I assumed they were similar to graham crackers, lol! But graham crackers don't have any coconut, they are a plain, wheaty cracker that is sweet and flat, kind of between a cookie(biscuit) and a cracker. I would say they are also similar to the digestive biscuits in the UK? It would be a huge pain to make peanut butter cups, but I'm so glad they sell them here. It's really the main candy my children like, and they are really so good! Please feel free to ask me if you ever have any questions about specific ingredients or recipes. Following you on Pinterest! And I'm pinning this yummy recipe.
Thank you so much for linking with Wednesdays Adorned From Above's blog Hop. This looks so good. I appreciate your linking up every week. I am one of your biggest fans.

Thanks for the info, Jamie! But you threw me once again with the jelly and jam 😉 I thought, in the States, jelly is always like our jam (with fruit), I did not realise there is a jelly and jam. I've made a few recipes calling for Graham's but I just substituted it for our Tennis biscuits and it seems to work out fine. Hope you have a nice 4th July (I have family in Los Angeles)
Looks great. Thanks for sharing!
