A quick and refreshing no-bake tart featuring a crunchy almond crust, creamy filling, and fresh nectarine slices, perfect for warm summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups raw almonds
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat, can swap with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or honey for natural sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 34 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: a light drizzle of honey over the top

Instructions

  1. Place the raw almonds in your food processor and pulse until finely ground but not turning into almond butter, aiming for a sandy texture with small bits remaining (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Transfer the ground almonds to a bowl. Add honey, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture becomes sticky and can be pressed together easily. Add more coconut oil if too dry.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (3-5 minutes). Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Remove the crust from the fridge and spread the filling evenly over the crust with a spatula.
  6. Wash and thinly slice nectarines. Arrange slices over the filling in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly.
  7. Chill the assembled tart in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set and meld flavors.
  8. Optional: Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and drizzle honey over the top.

Notes

Do not over-process almonds to avoid almond butter. Melt coconut oil until just liquid but not hot. Chill tart for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture. Use ripe but firm nectarines to avoid soggy crust. For vegan version, substitute cream cheese and yogurt with vegan alternatives and honey with maple syrup.
