Burnt Honey Yoghurt Tarts with Cornflake Pastry

These burnt honey yoghurt tarts are the result of craving dessert for breakfast but still not wanting breakfast, just dessert with breakfasty ingredients. Makes sense, right?!

These little tartlets are a fun dessert that screams childhood breakfast nostalgia. The filling is soft and velvety with butterscotch flavours which works so well with the extra cornflake crunch in the pastry. If you haven’t discovered the joys of burnt honey, well, stick around because it’s my latest obsession and I’m putting it in everything! 

Here are a few other reasons you should be baking with yoghurt:

1. The acidity in the yoghurt activates the baking powder which makes whatever you’re baking incredibly fluffy and light.
2. It’s an incredible substitute for other dairy products such as mascarpone, creme fraiche and even mayonnaise
3. The fat helps prevent baked goods from drying out and going stale fast.
4. It adds a tanginess that helps prevent the bakes from becoming overly sweet.
5. Its a perfect topping or garnish which will cut through richness and sweetness better than cream or ice cream! 

I know these burnt honey yoghurt tarts may look a bit tricky to make but looks are definitely deceiving in this case. From the super crunchy pastry packed with cornflakes to the salted honey yoghurt filling that’s slightly salty, sweet and tart – this is one of those desserts that take absolutely no effort to make with show-stopping qualities! If you want to make one single tart, that’s totally possible. Just use a 20cm tart tin and continue as normal. And if you’re not up to making the pastry, crush cornflakes and combine with enough melted butter just to bind them together then press into the tart cases for a cheat’s crust that will also do the trick!
