Mother's Day is less than two weeks away and our mamas deserve to be celebrated BIG, am I right? Now that I'm a mother myself, I have an even greater appreciation for my mom and all the things she did for me. I also have a great appreciation for delicious food that I didn't have to cook myself (can I get an amen??).
These tarts are the perfect way to say "I love and appreciate you!" in the form of food and holy tastebuds they are so. good. The whipped yogurt filling is delicious and has cream cheese and gelatin which make it super creamy yet firm enough for a tart. The fresh berries on top add a delicious freshness. I drizzled mine with honey but you could also add some fresh mint or a spritz of lemon juice as a fun addition.
Serve these up for breakfast in bed or brunch for the perfect start to Mother's Day. And psst...these are so easy that even your hubby could make them for you - hint hint!
