A platter of tangy,  tart fruit and creamy cheeses...

Layer yoghurt, fruit and granola in tall glasses.  Very pretty and very healthy.  Squeeze some lemon juice in it for "tartness".

Many grocery stores sell pudding mixes from Europe, many European nations use less sugar in their puddings.  You could make a triffle with fruit, angel food cake, and a pudding that is less sweet.  A triffle can be very pretty and taste very good to.

Answer 8

CHERRY SCONES

1-3/4 c. flour (plus a little more for work surface

2-1/2 tsp. baking powder

2-1/2 TB. sugar (plus more for sprinkling)

1/4 tsp. salt

6 TB. unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2" pieces

1/2 c. dried cherries (or Craisins)

1 tsp. grated lemon zest

1 large egg

5 TB. heavy cream, plus more to brush on top of scones

     Preheat oven to 425.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper;  set aside ......  In the bowl of food processors, combine flour, baking powder, sugar & salt.  Add butter and pulse 3-6 times, until mixture resembles a coarse meal.  Pulse in cherries & lemon zest.  ... In small bowl, beat together egg & cream.  Pulse into flour mixture, just until it comes together.  (If it's too dry, add a splash of cream, but it shouldn't be too sticky either) ....... Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and shape into 6" circle (1" thick).  Cut dough into 8 wedges.  Place scones on prepared sheet; lightly brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake until golden brown (12-14 min). ... Let cool slightly on baking sheet before transferring to rack....   ** I've also substituted orange marmalade & zest for the cherries/lemon

Answer 9

Summer/Mixed fruit tart

Its got fresh fruit so the sugar is natural and if you add berries there is a bit of tartness.

Plus the only calories are in the crust

Answer 10

Slice on sponge or angel food cake,

topped with fresh assorted berries,

topped with whipped cream!

Want tart....try an Amish lemon pie!

I have the best recipe at home....drat, sorry.

I have tried to google, but they are not quite right....the one I have has extremely thin sliced lemons in it.   The first bite will bite you back, but after that it is sinful!!

Just found this one....very close!!

You slice the lemons WHOLE - with the rind!!   Just cut off the end pieces and discard them.   Slice extremelty thin....use a mandolin if possible.
