Gluten Free Fresh Fruit Tart

When we talk about diets and healthy food, one category that is often avoided is sweets. Sweets and desserts are often categorised as junk and unhealthy. But if you have a sweet tooth like me and crave for something sweet to eat after a meal or just to boost your energy during the day, then some guilt-free desserts are sure to make you happy!

This fresh fruit tart is a little different from the traditional tarts. It’s loaded with nutrients and is quite fuss-free to make. Best part is that it’s gluten-free too. When Parina shared this recipe with me, I was really excited to try it out. What I liked best about this was that it was really easy to put together.
