I made this yogurt mousse mix melon tart a while ago and it was so well received. All my colleagues said this was the best tart they had and asked me to make it again. The yummy buttery crust matched with the yogurt mousse filling, plus the sweetness and crunchiness of the melons was an amazing combination.
I enjoyed eating this tart very much too.
Wanted to share with you this yummy tart recipe. I was inspired by summer fruits, such as the watermelons, rock melon and musk melons. So I decided to make this melon tart. Unfortunately, the musk melons were not really good when I was doing grocery shopping so I only used the red watermelon, yellow watermelon and rock melon.
Here is a closer look at the fruit tart. I simply used my mini ice cream scoop and scoop out the melon balls. I love the colorful look of the tart. Very inviting and fits the summer feel!
Recipe for Homemade Mix Melon Yogurt Mousse Fruit Tart
For the baked tart crust – please refer to my trusty tart crust recipe
here.
Ingredients for yogurt mousse
- whipping cream 150ml
- plain yogurt 100g
- sugar 15g (for cream)
- sugar 45g (for yogurt)
- gelatin powder 10g
- water 50ml
Toppings for tart
- red watermelon
- yellow watermelon
- rock melon
Method
1. In a bowl, add whipping cream and 15g sugar. Beat with mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set in chiller.
2. In another bowl, add in the plain yogurt and sugar, mix well
3. In a heat resistant cup or bowl, add in the gelatin powder and water. Heat in the microwave at 500W for 15 sec until gelatin dissolves.
4. Fold in the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture and add in the gelatin, fold until evenly mixed (it does not take very long).
5. Set in the chiller for 45- 1 hour, after which, it would have a thick mousse like curdish texture.
6. Fill your baked tart crust with the yogurt mousse filing. The tart crust should be fully cooled before you fill in the yogurt mousse. Set the filled tart in chiller for 30mins.
7. Add the fruits on the tart. Try to drain away as much of the excess juice from the fruit balls before adding to the tart. Store in chiller, recommend to serve the tart cold. But as gelatin is used, the tart should hold up even during transportation between venues and at occassions.

Hi Ms Shirley!
Sorry to sound stupid but I have never used whipping cream before, so may i know which brand and where to buy the cream that you use in this recipe?
Thanks a lot!

Hi! I do not have a microwave oven at home so I usually dissolve the gelatine powder with boiling water, So the mixture will be 100 degree celsius. Can I still add this hot mixture into the yogurt and whipped cream mixture? or do I have to wait for the gelatine mixture to cool a little before I add it in? Just wondering if direct addition of the hot gelatine mix will cause the whipped cream to liquify?

Hi Xinyun, just put in a small pot and heat under low heat. Once dissolve, remove from heat. more than often, the gelatin would have melted without it coming to full boiling point. :) If you are pouring the hot water to the gelatin, wait it to cool down slightly before pouring in will be better. The order should be gelatine to yogurt, then fold yogurt into the whipped cream. hope this helps :)
