Description

This Fruit Tart with Brown Rice Crust offers a healthier twist on a classic dessert. The crust, made from cooked long-grain brown rice, egg whites, and cinnamon, provides a firm, nutty base that is naturally gluten-free. It supports a luscious, tangy filling of light cream cheese and sour cream, sweetened just enough to complement the natural flavors. The tart is finished with an artful arrangement of fresh fruits like kiwi, strawberries, and bananas, glazed with warm apple jelly for a shiny, appetizing look. Perfect for brunches, summer gatherings, or as a lighter dessert option, this recipe balances texture and flavor beautifully without relying on heavy pastry.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cooked brown rice, 1/4 cup sugar, beaten egg whites, and cinnamon until well mixed.
  3. Press the rice mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the light cream cheese and light sour cream together until light and fluffy.
  6. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture; blend until smooth.
  7. Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled rice crust.
  8. Refrigerate the tart until the filling has set, about 30-60 minutes.
  9. While the tart chills, prepare the fruit. Slice bananas and dip them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  10. Remove the sides of the springform pan carefully.
  11. Arrange the sliced fresh fruit in a decorative pattern on top of the set cream filling.
  12. Heat the apple jelly in a small saucepan or microwave until dissolved and fluid.
  13. Brush the warm apple jelly glaze over the fruit to give it a shiny finish.
  14. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
