This Blueberry Tart Recipe is dairy-free and delicious! The creamy vegan no bake filling sits on top of a gluten-free crust that’s super easy to make and topped with berries for tart perfection, if you ask me!

Suggestions to go with your tart:

It’s tart season….oh, when is it not tart season? I’m going big here proclaiming this The Best Blueberry Tart Recipe out there….and I’ll swear by that with one caveat…if you change up the berries and make it as a Raspberry Tart, I just may change my allegiance.

I’m all about blueberries this year. I have two awesome shrubs in the yard loaded with these low cal, nutrient dense beautiful little orbs. I’m already making my blueberry crumble bars on repeat…but this delicious homemade blueberry tart recipe is quickly becoming a favorite in this house.

Let me tell you, there’s so much to love about these little gems besides the gorgeous color…..though the color is outstanding, IMHO.

Health benefits of blueberries:

Low in calories, high in nutrients
Loaded with antioxidants
Anti-inflammatory
High in potassium and Vitamin C
SUPERFOOD status that’s well earned!
Can lower your risk for heart disease and cancer.

Homemade Blueberry Tart Options

SIZE: Decide on a full size tart…..either round, square or rectangle, depending on what size tart pan you have….OR make mini blueberry tarts. If you don’t have a tart pan with a removable bottom, I have ideas for you. Stay tuned!
CRUST: So important to have a crust that will hold together when you remove the tart pan. When making a tart, rather than a pie, presentation is important.
FILLING: I love a creamy filling as much as the next guy, but I don’t do diary….and sometimes I’m not into cashew cream. Wow, have I found a diary-free, nut-free alternative. See if you can guess the secret ingredient before you read all about it below.
BLUEBERRIES: Stars of the blueberry tart recipe! They’re sweet and also tangy…yum. You can also use other berries, or combos or even slices of stone fruit. Peaches, when in season are AMAZING in this recipe.

Tart Crust: No sugar. No oil, No flour. No kidding!

Blueberry Tart Crust Ingredients with photos and labels: almond flour, oatmeal, walnuts, baking soda, sea salt, lemon juice, dates.

This tart crust reminds me of a graham cracker crust, only better. Naturally sweetened with dates, there’s no need for sugar. The dates also act as a natural binder so there’s no need for additional oil. If you’re looking for more omega 3s, walnuts are here! It’s a winning combo that’s both vegan and gluten-free. Goes to show, good taste and good nutrition aren’t mutually exclusive!

How to make Tart Crust that’s vegan and Gluten-free

Place almond flour, dates, walnuts, oats, baking soda, lemon juice, and sea salt into the bowl of a food processor.
Process until everything is well incorporated and crumbly. The batter should hold together when pinched between your fingers.
Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

How to make mini tarts without a tart pan

Mini blueberry tarts are awesome when you’re home alone and worried you may eat the whole friggin full size tart yourself. They’re super fun and also serve as built in portion control. Not only that, but the “special equipment” needed can likely be found in your kitchen already.

An assortment of canning jar lids and rings.

Canning lids with rings are ideal for making mini berry tarts. Just insert the lids upside down into the rings. Then, make the crust in the food processor and press it into the full sized tart pan or portion into individual lids. Big or small, no need to grease the tart pan. Push from the bottom and they’ll pop right out.

Dairy-free Tart filling

Did you guess the secret ingredient when I said diary-free without cashews? Silken tofu is a dream to work with. Neutral flavor means you can do what you want! Vanilla, maple syrup and lemon juice is all that’s needed to transform the silken tofu into a delicious, creamy yogurt like filling. I like it so much I’ve been making extra to have with granola. DELISH.

Take silken tofu out of the package and set on a couple of paper towels to drain. Do not try to press, it will completely fall apart.
Add drained tofu, lemon juice, maple syrup and vanilla to a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

Not only is this filling tasty, but it has some nutrition creds too. Tofu is high in protein and contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs. It’s also a good source of plant based iron and calcium.

Let baked tart crust cool for 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Remove the outer ring, leaving on the tart bottom for stability.

Fill the tart…or the mini tarts with the vegan cream filling and then the fun begins. Decorate with berries or sliced fruit. This is a great activity if you have kids around….or kids at heart!

I’m kinda having a moment with blueberries. It happens when you’re able to pick them from your yard! This healthy tart would be fun decorated with something red….like raspberries or sliced strawberries for a patriotic dessert. Perfect for 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Flag Day, Veterans Day….the list is endless.

OK. So now that you have my fresh blueberry tart recipe you still have one big decision to make. Will you make a large blueberry tart or mini berry tarts?
