What is a Tart?

While these delicate pastries are often mixed up with tiny pies, tarts are often served open-faced and baked in a tart pan with a removable bottom. 

In the world of tarts, texture rules. With smooth, airy fillings and delicate shells, tarts are lighter cousins of traditional pies. In contrast to the buttery flakiness of pie crust, tart shells are made up of a conventional pastry dough lending to a soft, crumbly feel.

A perfect tart looks sweet and tastes even sweeter, with extra-tiny tarts often referred to as tartlets. 

Yup — we didn’t know desserts were allowed to be this cute, either.

Using any flavor of our delicious Mylk Labs oatmeal as a hearty base, these tarts are infused with extra sweetness from Medjool dates and decadent flavor from a healthy heaping of coconut butter.
