These Shortbread Fruit Tarts offer sweet flavor with less sugar than traditional shortbread, and a fun infusion of lemon, blueberry, and acai! Plus they are topped with amazing fresh fruit.

Hi, did you guys have a good weekend? We headed out of town for the weekend to enjoy some relaxation. We have had a crazy busy month with two of my four kids having a birthday, getting back into school after the break, as well as back to the grind stone with sports and music. On top of that our house flooded (again), my oven broke. Sometimes it seems like we have one bad news thing after another. Life is good, but I really needed to kick up my feet and take a break.

We headed to slightly warmer weather, and I was happy to sit back, sip a cup of Bigelow tea and munch on a sweet shortbread cookie tart!

Bigelow Truvia Shortbread Cookies

One of the things that made these the perfect little indulgence is they have a lot less sugar than traditional shortbread cookies. Truth be told, while naturally thin, I’m getting older and it is getting harder to stay trim. I need a little less sugar in my life.

But I am not getting less sugar by cutting out the sweets. I can’t seem to help myself, I love biscotti with my cocoa, and shortbread with my tea. So I decided to try making shortbread without so much sugar, and instead use Truvia. But I wanted to take my shortbread even one step further, so I gave it a subtle, delightful flavoring with the tea itself!

And so I give you Lemon, Blueberry, Acai Shortbread Tarts made with Bigelow Tea and Truvía®!
