Strawberry Mascarpone Tart
Report
Strawberry mascarpone tart is a deliciously creamy low carb and keto dessert. The velvety whipped mascarpone filling is set off perfectly by the crisp coconut flour tart crust.

Ingredients
For the coconut base:
- 120 g / ½ cup coconut oil
- 100 g / ¾ cup plus 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon powdered sweetener
For the mascarpone cream:
- 250 g / 8.8 ounce/1 very generous cup mascarpone
- 2 eggs separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- 200 g / 1 cup strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius/356 Fahrenheit.
- Blend your eggs with the coconut oil, vanilla and powdered sweetener of choice, if using. I used my food processor, bit this can be done with a stick blender.
- Sift in the coconut flour and combine.
- Your dough should be soft, but not too sticky. If needed, add a little more coconut flour to get the right consistency. You can also stick the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool it down - this will make it easier to roll out.
- You now have 2 options: Either roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper. Or press it directly into a pie form that you have lined with parchment paper or greased well with coconut oil.
- Bake for around 10 minutes or until lightly browned at the edges.
- Now make your filling: Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites in a clean!! and dry!! porcelain or metal bowl with a hand-held or electric metal whisk. As you can see in the picture, I used an old school whisk and around 2 minutes of muscle power. You can do it too! Don't even think about stopping until stiff peaks form :)
- Combine the mascarpone and the egg yolks, then add the vanilla and sweetener.
- Gently fold in the stiff egg whites.
- Once the tart base has cooled down, add the mascarpone mix.
- Cool in the fridge until serving (at least ½ hour).
- Just before serving, add the strawberries - sliced, halved or whole, however you prefer.
Notes
- Optional: decorate with mint leaves! (I meant to do this and forgot! Plenty of fresh mint tea for me now)
