These tartlets feature a sweet cookie crust and a tangy yogurt filling, and are incredibly easy to make yet look elegant. Plus, they’re gluten-free, refined sugar-free, can easily be made vegan, and are a healthy option too!
There are three main things that I believe make this a killer recipe:
- They are so incredibly easy to make. They only require three ingredients and take all of about five minutes to throw together.
- They look and sound super impressive. I mean come on, if you tell someone you are serving hibiscus tartlets at your party, they are going to think you spent hours in the kitchen or spent a fortune at a boutique bakery.
- These tartlets are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. So they are allergen friendly and perfect for any dietary restrictions!
And okay there is actually a fourth thing. One that I know I always appreciate. They are bite sized! I have a huge sweet tooth and love desserts, but I hate committing to a whole fat slice of cake or a cookie that is as big as my head. These help with portion control! Which I know I can always use some help with!
Three Ingredient Tartlets
As I mentioned, you only need three ingredients for these tartlets: Emmy’s Organic cookies, Suncore Foods hibiscus flower powder, and Lavva dairy-free plain or vanilla yogurt.
You can add a sweetener if you prefer, but I don’t think it’s necessary—especially if you’re using vanilla yogurt. The cookies are already quite sweet, and the tartness of the filling perfectly complements that. However, feel free to taste as you go and adjust to your liking!
Not only do these three ingredients make this recipe incredibly easy, but they also create a high-quality treat you can confidently serve to your loved ones. These tartlets are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly. Plus, the ingredients come from companies I love and trust. These small businesses prioritize quality, care, and thoughtful processes, and they all have inspiring stories. Best of all, each company was founded by women! You can learn more about them on their websites
What is Hibiscus Powder?
I’m sure many of you haven’t used hibiscus powder before and might not know much about it, so I wanted to share some info! I love using Suncore Foods fuchsia hibiscus flower powder as a natural food coloring, which helps me avoid unnecessary chemicals and dyes in my recipes. It gives a lovely soft pinkish-purple hue, perfect for cute baked goods and vibrant smoothies.
The powder has a subtle tart, berry-like flavor that adds just the right hint of taste to whatever you use it in.
Beyond its fun color and flavor, hibiscus flowers also offer many health benefits, such as:
- Lowering bad cholesterol
- Lowering blood pressure
- Increasing good cholesterol
- Reducing inflammation
- Aiding digestion
If my dessert can do all of that, count me in!
Let’s Make Hibiscus Tartlets!
So first you are going to have to get yourself some Emmy’s Cookies. Because that is going to be the base for these! If, for some reason, you really don’t want to do that, you can use the crust from my mini mango cheesecakes or my recipe from my no-bake fruit tart. They will just require a couple extra ingredients but are both easy and really delicious!
Then is the hibiscus powder we talked about earlier in this post. An easy swap for that, which you may be able to find more readily, would be beet powder! I love coloring things with that, too.

Notes
You can find these products for purchase in my Amazon Store to easily get for yourself!
You can see that the amounts in the recipe are a little general. Basically what you need to know is that one Emmy’s cookie yields the crust for one tartlet. So however many you want to make, be sure to have that many cookies. And then the amount of filling you need will just depend on how deep you make your crusts, how full you want them, and how many you make! But for every 1/2 cup of yogurt I’d use 1/2-1 tsp of the powder. Start small and add more depending on the color and taste you want.
