Ingredients

200g sweet digestive biscuits (preferably -Light' digestive variant)

50g hazelnut meal

80g unsalted butter, melted

325g (1½ cup) Vaalia Low Fat French Vanilla yoghurt

125g (1/2 cup) mascarpone

2 punnets mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Mint leaves to garnish

Method

1. For the tart base, crush biscuits in a food processor.

2. Pour into a bowl and mix in hazelnut meal. Thoroughly mix in butter. Spoon into an 11cm x 34cm rectangular tart tin with a removable base and press down evenly, including the sides, to make an even crust.

3. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until base is set.

4. To make the filling, fold yoghurt through mascarpone. Spoon the mixture into the tart and top with sliced berries and scatter a few mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Variations: For a tarter variation of this decadent dessert, replace Vaalia French Vanilla yoghurt with Vaalia Natural yoghurt.

Handy Hints:  Make the tart base up to 24 hours in advance but fill and decorate just before serving.
