Today’s a very special day~ we’re celebrating my friend, Georgia’s, soon to arrive baby girl! For those of you who don’t know Georgia, she’s the writer/photographer of The Comfort of Cooking, where you’ll find no-fuss, family-friendly comfort food recipes.

Think Pink Baby Shower (1)

This is such an exciting time in a woman’s life, so I am thrilled for Georgia and the new life that lies ahead of her…so many special milestones to share together, lots of memories to embrace, and the amazing opportunity to teach and mold a new little one into a precious human being.

I could think of no better way to celebrate than making this Strawberry Almond Cream Tart for Georgia’s baby shower today. I originally spotted a similar tart on Cooking Light  as I was thinking about what to make for this special occasion.

I swapped out the graham cracker crust for a gluten-free crust made with almond flour and coconut flour, bulked up the filling with some vanilla yogurt, and left off the strawberry glaze so the fresh berries could shine through.

I’ve never been a pie maker so I opted for this no-fuss tart where the crust is simply pressed into the a tart pan. Toasted sliced almonds decorate the edges so there’s not need to make sure the edges are primped and pretty (another reason I can’t make pies). I placed a border of fresh raspberries and halved strawberries on top of this lightened up “cheesecake” filling made with low-fat cream cheese and vanilla yogurt. I took some step-by-step photos with my phone to show how I arranged the strawberries – it’s easy.

I tested this tart out on my boys and they loved it, so I hope Georgia does too!

Congratulations Georgia and I can’t wait to see your little darling!

Strawberry Almond Cream Tart

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

Almond Coconut Tart Crust

  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons raw coconut sugar
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 tablespoon water as needed

Almond Cream Filling

  • 1 8- ounce container low-fat organic cream cheese
  • 1 8- ounce container low-fat organic vanilla yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Berry Topping

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries trimmed, halved
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • 4 tablespoons toasted almond slices

Instructions

Almond Coconut Tart Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until mixture just holds together when you pinch it with your fingers.
  3. Spoon into a tart pan (mine was 9 3/4" in diameter). Use your fingers to press the dough to cover the bottoms and sides of the pan. I went with the rustic look and didn't worry about the edges being uniform.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until crust is light brown. Do not over bake or the crust will turn bitter. Cool.

Almond Cream Filling

  1. Beat together cream cheese, yogurt, honey, vanilla and almond extract until smooth.
  2. Spread in cooled tart crust.

Topping

  1. Place a row of raspberries around perimeter of tart. Arrange strawberry halves on tart as desired. Place a few more raspberries in the center of the tart. Sprinkle toasted almond slices around perimeter of tart.
  2. Chill until ready to serve.

    Oh my. What a gorgeous tart! I love the grain-free crust. I’m definitely not a regular crust person, either, so I definitely appreciate how easy this one is. 🙂

    And isn’t cream cheese and Greek yogurt mixed together the best ever?! I could eat that all day!

    Thanks so much for participating. I hope Georgia gets up soon! 😀

    Love looking at your website, everything always looks so yummy! Yes, I do have a problem. Many of us who are Celiac are also lactose intolerent. In fact I think that most of us are! So, why do you use dairy in many of your recipes, or at least offer a substitute. I don’t like using chemicals so won’t use immitations. BUT I do want to make this pie. I have made the strawberry glace’ pie, years ago. The almond crust looks even better than dough! But the dairy … oh, what to do?

      Fredda, there are dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt products available that you might seek out. As an alternative, you can try making cashew cream (soak raw cashews in water and then blend to a thick puree) in place of the cream cheese.

    Can you give me directions on the cashew cream? How much for one pie? Also, do you have favorites for the dairy substitutes (no chemicals, please)? Our anniversary is coming and strawbery pie’s my H’s favorite. Thanks, Jeanette for your attention.

      Fredda,
      Cashew cream is basically soaked cashews that are pureed with water, and a little acid (lemon juice or vinegar). You can sweeten it with your favorite sweetener. The thickness can be adjusted by using more or less water. Start off with less water and add a little more if you need. Here are two recipes, one for a thicker cream cheese consistency and the other for a thinner consistency. You would probably want something in between these two. http://www.healthfulpursuit.com/2012/12/how-to-make-soy-free-vegan-cream-cheese/
