I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Everyday Health.
Ingredients:
8 ounces light sour cream or 8 ounces nonfat sour cream or 1 (7 ounce) carton purchased creme fraiche
1 medium bananas, mashed (1/3 cup) or 1/3 cup mashed mango
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (or granulated heat-stable sugar substitute,splenda) (optional)
1 cup raspberries
semisweet chocolate (optional)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
4 tablespoons water, divided
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Prepare Pastry Dough. Divide dough into 10 portions. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten 1 portion. Roll dough from center to edges into a circle about 3 1/2-inches in diameter. Line a 3-inch tart pan with pastry. Press pastry into fluted sides of tart pans; trim edges. Prick bottom of pastry. Repeat with remaining portions of pastry. Line pastries with a double thickness of foil.
3. Place pastry-lined tart pans on a very large baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes; remove foil. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes more or until pastry shells are golden. Cool in pans on a wire rack. Remove pastry shells from pans.
4. For filling, in a medium bowl, stir together sour cream or creme fraiche and mashed banana or mango. If desired, sweeten with sugar or sugar substitute.
5. Divide filling mixture among pastry shells; top with raspberries, banana slices and/or kiwi slices. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.
6. Tart Pastry:.
7. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/3 cup shortening until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cold water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon cold water at a time, until all of the flour mixture is moistened (4 to 5 tablespoons cold water total). Form dough into a ball.
