Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute Greek yogurt with another type of yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with plain natural yogurt, but for the best texture and flavor, it’s recommended to use full-fat yogurt. You can also try using dairy-free yogurts, like coconut or almond yogurt, though the consistency may vary.
How should I store leftover tart?
Leftover yogurt and vanilla tart should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can keep well for up to 3-4 days. If you need to store it longer, consider freezing it, but be aware that the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
What should I do if my tart doesn't rise or has a dense texture?
If your tart doesn't rise, it may be due to under-beaten egg whites or not folding them in gently enough. Ensure the egg whites reach stiff peaks and are carefully folded into the mixture. Additionally, check that your baking powder is fresh, as expired leavening agents can affect the texture.
