Low Carb Strawberries and Cream Tart
Summertime is here you guys! I mentioned before in my Strawberry Frosted Chocolate Cake post that one of my favorite things about the warmer months is our berry season here in Arkansas.
Since I live near two berry farms I always have access to fresh summer berries and I could not let the season pass without sharing my low-carb Strawberries and Cream Tart.
This dessert, in all its glory, is cream cheese and sour cream swirled with fresh strawberry jelly and then baked in a delicious cookie crust.
I use my fresh-picked strawberries to make a jelly recipe from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook called Slim Belly Jelly but if you don’t have access to their book and that recipe any sugar-free recipe will work. You can also use your favorite no sugars added store brand.
I think the sour cream makes the texture softer and creamier than some cheesecakes. With all the luscious creamy elements in this recipe, I decided to call it a “cream tart” instead of cheesecake.
Genius, right? Okay, maybe that’s reaching a bit on the genius part but I do believe this dessert was definitely a stroke of “yumminess”.
This recipe comes together quickly.
It is mixed and ready to chill in less than an hour when you make your jelly ahead of time. Like my Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Tart, the hardest part of this recipe will be mustering up the patience to wait until the tart completely chills.
The waiting part stinks! Believe me, I totally get it. I have to stand guard at the refrigerator here in our house to keep my husband and son from cutting it before it has reached its prime!
As with most of my desserts on the blog, I have to hurry to get pictures before they make it disappear.
I baked this dessert in my favorite Wilton Tart Pan which you can find through my Amazon Store at the bottom of this post. I love the way this pan makes beautiful tarts and cheesecakes.
The pan has a bottom that lifts out which makes it easy getting your tart out. It also helps with cleanup. If you don’t have this pan please don’t let it stop you if you do not have this style pan.
Freezing Instructions
Not only is this tart delicious served fresh, but it is just as wonderful frozen and served at a later date. To freeze the cheesecake tart just let it cool completely and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
You can freeze the tart whole or in individual slices.
When you are ready to eat a slice or the whole tart, you can pull it out of the freezer an hour or two before you need it to let it thaw on the counter, or overnight in the fridge.
I bake this cheesecake as well as most of my others in this Wilton 9-inch tart pan. It is effortless to use and easy to remove the cheesecake once cooled.
Take a look at this pan my favorite brand of oat fiber here in my Amazon Store.
Strawberries & Cream Tart
A wonderful sugar free cream cheese tart with a swirl of sweet strawberry jam.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups of almond meal
- 1/2 cup of Oat Fiber
- 12 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1/3 cups of Pyure Stevia Sweetener or (2/3 cups Gentle Sweet)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Filling
- 12 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of Pyure Sweetener (or 1 cup THM Gentle Sweet)
- 1/3 cup of Daisy Sour Cream
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 5 tablespoons of of your favorite strawberry jam
Instructions
- Begin your crust by adding all the dry ingredients and the vanilla into your food processor. Turn your machine on and slowly add in the melted butter until your mixture comes together. It should stick together when you press it between your fingers.
- Spray tart pan with cooking spray. Press the crust mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides. It doesn't have to reach the top of the pan.
- Blind bake the crust for about 10 minutes on the top shelf at 350 degrees.
- After the ten minutes remove it from the oven to cool a bit and prepare the filling.
- For the filling add the cream cheese, sweetener, sour cream, eggs, and the vanilla into a food processor or blender.
- Mix the filling on high until there are no lumps and all of the ingredients have been completely incorporated.
- Next pour the vanilla mixture into the partially baked crust.
- Prepare your strawberry swirl mixture. The swirl will be created by adding in your jelly component. Place your jam in a small microwave safe bowl and heat for about 15-20 seconds. You are just trying to reach a nice loose texture so you can swirl it easier but not runny.
- Once it is loosened up use a spoon to add the strawberry mixture around in the cream cheese mixture, then take a knife or big straw to carefully swirl the jelly around the tart.
- Bake the tart at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes or until there is no wiggle in the center. Do not over cook or the top will begin to split.
- Let it cool completely before removing the tart from your pan or slicing it.
Place the tart into the fridge to chill for several hours.

I love how you described in your video the use of Oat Fiber. I have checked out your recipes and found that the ratio of Almond Flour to Oat Fiber is not always the same. Sometimes is 1 : 0.3, or 1 : 0.16. May I ask you how to judge the amount of Oat Fiber I should add to my baking products? Thank you!
