Ya’ll, the Fourth of July is RIGHT around the corner! Can you believe it? Today we’re getting our USA feels on with these Patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts! 😉

I haven’t lived in my hometown for several years now, so there’s nothing like getting to see my family on this holiday. After months of being homesick, it’s so refreshing to get to go home during this time of year and enjoy celebrating the entire day with them by my side!

The years that I can’t make it home, I love celebrating with my close friends and spending the day with them. Every year is different, but every year I’m surrounded by people that I love. And for that, I am SO grateful!

I mean, the food on the Fourth of July is pretty great, too! You can read all about my favorite food traditions to celebrate on this holiday. Hamburgers and ice cream? Yes, please and thank you! Let’s throw in some strawberry shortcake, while we’re at it. 😉

These Patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts are a great (and healthy) way to celebrate!

It’s not often that you’ll find me getting all artsy here on Jar Of Lemons, as I am simply incapable of making crafty things look good. Heck, I can’t even color between the lines! But be proud of me, friend, because today I ventured out and tried to make these Patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts look like little flags. I know! I’m shocked, too.

Successful or not, I can definitely vouch for how they taste! And that would be AHHHHHMAZING. Sweet, creamy, melt-in-your mouth treats that we can all feel good about!

Other Berries You Can Use

So because these little fruit tarts are patriotic fruit tarts I had to go with blueberries and strawberries because the colors and contrast between them were just perfect. But, really you can use any berries you like if you want to stick to the theme then try and stick with something red to replace the strawberries such as raspberries or redcurrants.

How to Make Patriotic Fruit Tarts

Tart Shells

  1. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a food processor.

  2. Add in the liquid ingredients and continue to mix.

  3. Knead the dough, then fill each space of an oiled cupcake pan with a thin layer of the dough.

  4. Place in the oven and bake for about 15-25 minutes.

  5. Once the tarts have fully cooled, pour the filling and add the toppings.

Filling/Toppings

  1. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon, and honey.

  2. Pour the filling into each tart, then add the strawberries, blueberries, and shredded coconut.

  3. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve!

Patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts

This patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts recipe has been one of my favorite treats for the 4th of July for years! With a five-star rating, readers love it too, and after one bite, you’ll understand why. Naturally sweetened and made with an almond and oat flour base, the tart shell is slightly nutty, just a little crumbly, and perfectly sweet. Then, I add yogurt, coconut flakes, and fresh berries to create a pretty American flag design that’s almost too cute to eat. Easy to prepare, these red, white, and blue fruit tarts are perfect for holiday parties but are so tasty you’ll make them all summer long!

Equipment

  • 1 Muffin Tin
  • 1 Microwave-Safe Bowl
  • 1 Cookie Scoop
  • 1 Wire Rack

Ingredients

Tartlets

  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 Tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon very cold water

Toppings

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Shredded coconut (to taste)
  • Wild blueberries (to taste)
  • Fresh strawberries (sliced, to taste)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and prepare a muffin tin with liners.
  • Melt the coconut oil and set it aside to cool.
  • Mix the flours, chia seeds, salt, maple syrup, vanilla, and cold water.
  • Slowly mix in the coconut oil, then use your hands to form the dough.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, roll into 10-11 balls, and place each one into a muffin tin cavity.
  • Press the dough into the muffin tin into a very thin layer, allowing the dough to come up the sides a bit evenly.
  • Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
  • Let cool, then carefully remove from the liners and place on a cooling rack.
  • When totally cooled down, fill each tart shell with yogurt and top with shredded coconut.
  • Add blueberries on one corner, then the sliced strawberries to create an American flag (or….just top them however you want).
  • Drizzle with honey and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to add any toppings you want! These would be so good with chocolate chips, peanuts, caramel, and really any type of fruit.
  • The shells will get soggy if they sit too long with the yogurt filling, so I recommend waiting to fill them until right before you serve them. Or you can even freeze them and just thaw them right before serving!
