Labneh, a thick strained yoghurt, is the base for the filling in a sweet vanilla flavoured tart crust, which is then sealed with a thin layer of melted white chocolate couverture to prevent the pastry getting soggy. You can use mascarpone instead of the yoghurt cheese or a mix of two for the filling. All the seasonal berries, currants, or stone fruits are fantastic as the topping. The cherry labneh tart is then finished off with a sprinkle of chopped raw pistachios that not only makes it look pretty but also adds extra flavour.

CrustFilling
  • 250 g White spelt flour
  • 20 g Vanilla sugar
  • 125 g Cold unsalted butter, chopped
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 Egg, plus 1 extra egg yolk
  • 50 g White chocolate couverture, chopped
  • 460 g Labneh
  • 30 g Powdered sugar
  • 400 g Cherries, pitted, halved
  • 30 g Coarsely ground pistachios
  • Summer blossom honey, optional
  1. For pastry, whiz spelt flour, sugar, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add egg and extra egg yolk and pulse until a smooth dough forms. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 22cm loose-bottomed tart pan. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface until 4mm thick, then use to line pan. Trim excess, leaving 2mm above the sides. Chill for 30 minutes. Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and paper. Bake for a further 5 minutes or until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt the white chocolate couverture and spread thinly over the tart case. Set aside until the crust is completey cool and the chocolate set.
  4. Combine labneh and icing sugar in a bowl, then spread into case. Top with cherries, pistachios and drizzle with honey, if using, to serve.

    I don't do fruit dairy mix as it does not sit well with my walrus belly, but I'd totally eat all those cherries before you manage to bake with them LOL

    Las cerezas por sí solas me encantan, pero en una tarta mucho más. Es una belleza y debe estar más que rica.

    I'm surrounded by Middle Eastern bakeries here and I re-discovered labneh and eat it all the time. This is the perfect recipe to use it in a dessert! Beautiful cherry tart.

    What a beautiful reminder that it is sweet cherry season! I have never tasted labneh before, but it sounds totally lovely, Angie! You have such a feel for every detail . . . for example the layer of white chocolate on the tart shell to keep it dry! Brilliant idea!
    Ciao Angie,

    Now this is my kind of post, despite the fact that I have never come across labneh before and I am not too sure about yoghurt cheese, but I'll try anything once!

    The combination of colours and flavours with the added cherries and pistachios looks amazing, although I personally, would pit the cherries first!

    Thanks for sharing another great idea! :)

    Love cherry season and what a scrumptious way to enjoy it. Your tart looks so creamy and I'm very curious as to the flavor and texture of labneh.
