Blueberry-Lemon Tart

Blueberry-Lemon Tart

The natural, fruity beauty of the Blueberry-Lemon Tart is great to show off at sunny picnics. With less fat and fewer calories, this treat is even more presentable.


healthified recipe
We’ve made this tart health-smart. The crust now uses less butter and replaces eggs with fat-free egg product. Also, fat-free sour cream was substituted for cream cheese.

Crust:
1/2 cup butter > 1/3 cup butter
1 egg > 2 tablespoons fat-free egg product
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour > 1 cup all-purpose flour 

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese > 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
