Blueberry Almond Ricotta Tart Jars

Jun 24, 2016 Stephanie

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Snapple. The opinions and text are all mine. #TrueTeaTaste

Blueberry Almond-compressed

When it comes to summer entertaining, I like light, easy and effortless. These Blueberry Almond Ricotta Tarts are just the right amount of sweet. To make it easy, I took some liberty with the “tart” part and used a graham cracker crust base in a mason jar. It makes this a fun and simple dessert that you can whip up in no time.

A crumbled crust lines the bottom of the jar and ricotta is whipped with a bit of mascarpone cheese, lemon zest and honey to create that “just right” sweetness.

This is then piped onto the top of the crust and topped with a caramelized almond and blueberry mixture.

And what pairs perfectly with it?  The true tea taste that you’ll find in Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea.

Featuring sleek new packaging, you can be sure that there is a true tea taste in every single sip of this delicious tea.

Snapple Straight Up Tea Varieties

I love the light flavors of the original Straight Up Tea™ varieties – Unsweetened, Sorta Sweet and Sweet. You can also find new varieties available now- Sorta Sweet Honey Green Tea & Rooibos.

Snapple Straight Up Tea at Stop and Shop

I stocked up on a bunch of the different varieties while I was at Stop & Shop – the price was perfect and now I can enjoy this favorite all summer long.

Why choose Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea?

  • Made with all-natural ingredients
  • No artificial anything
  • True Tea Taste
  • Three levels of sweetness, plus black, green and rooibos varieties.

For this recipe, I went light to go along with the qualities of my mini tart in a jar — it’s sorta sweet so it pairs really well with the Unsweet, Sorta Sweet and Sorta Sweet Honey Green Tea.

Tart Jars

Put these on ice, prepare your jars in advance and you’ve got an instant tea with friends – summer style.
