Tarts Recipes

Try these light and low-fat personal pies for dessert during the fall. They're a great substitute for pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

I love to increase the nutrition of baked goods by adding whole grains. That's the secret to these pecan tarts.

Tart lemon, nutty walnuts and sesame seeds, rich coconut and smooth, sweet dates come together to make these delightfully refreshing treats.

This recipe came from Raw Food Rehab. This recipe made 3 - 4" tartlets or double the recipe for a 9" pie pan.

This no-cook treat is a quick way to satisfy a craving for chocolate and cheesecake.

Still not diet food, but portion controlled

This is NOT your traditional sweet potato pie. I always wanted to try a purple yam/sweet potato pie since I saw a photo of it. I decided for portion control, I would make the tart size. This is the first time I am making them this way. So here goes!

3 ingredients and they are SOOO good together! Put this pretty dish in parfait cups instead of mini pies and you literally save 110 calories. This is a no fail snack!

A nice little twist on spinach pie, but with some different vegetables and cheese, but still served in the phyllo dough

This is a quick, easy but very fancy looking dessert

Melt some Cadbury Creme Eggs into this chocolate tart recipe for a goo-filled chocolate-y Easter dessert.

Tried this recipe and loved it...haven't figured out what to replace for lower calories - but it's a big hit!

This cookie is a holiday tradition in our family. This recipe is not usually low in calories, fat or sugar. However, I have altered this recipe to be lower in all of those things, especially the sugar. This is a good sized cookie so one indulgence is enough! Enjoy!

This recipe is for anyone who loves Lemon Meringue pie, but doesn't like all the work. This takes less than 5 minutes to make and tastes great.

Valentines Treat, or any occasion.

Dessert

A rich and creamy, cool and fruity dessert for under 200 calories! I made mine with four kinds of fresh berries, but any fruit will do - use your family's favorites. (Adapted from Paula Deen's Cherry Cream Cheese Pie recipe.)

My dad's FAVOURITE around the holiday season. Takes a little bit of time, yet it's totally worth it! Vegan, and can be made alcohol free if you wish (substitute apple juice for the brandy). Not for dieters!

Simple to throw together with pre-baked mini tart shells, these make elegant after-dinner treats at a party!

I adapted this recipe from the Betty Crocker website. These are more tangy than sweet, but they will still brighten up any occasion they're part of!
