We hope you love cherriesbecause June 18th is National Cherry Tart Day! It’s speculated that the first National Cherry Tart day came into existence because of the National Cherry Festival held in Michigan, but sources aren’t entirely clear. A tart is like an open-faced pie and who doesn’t want to dig into a crumbly pie crust filled with sweet, sugary, gooey cherries?
While it’s also suggested that this awesome holiday takes place on June 21st, we wanted to get to the good stuff ASAP. Don’t worry — when the next National Cherry Tart Day rolls around, you can still whip up some delicious, cherry tart-related dessert. We won’t tell anyone (we’ll be doing the same thing). So, get ready because yours truly has curated eight, count ’em, eight yummy recipes for cherry pies and tarts.
1. Cherry Chocolate Pie

In Dani Venn‘s Cherry Chocolate Pie, a chia cherry jam sits on a raw pie crust base of seeds and Medjool dates. The cherry jam is sweet, tart, and has the perfect texture. The pie is then topped with cool, creamy coconut yogurt, and garnished with fresh cherries and cacao nibs. Serve this decadent dessert chilled.
