Strawberry Almond Tart

This low-carb Strawberry Almond Tart recipe is a delightful dessert option that can easily be tailored to include your favorite fresh berries. The subtle sweetness, achieved by using birch sugar (xylitol) instead of cane sugar, makes it a perfect treat for those looking to cut down on their sugar intake. It bakes beautifully in a 9" round tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring easy serving and a lovely presentation.

While you can shop for strawberries at grocery stores all year long, strawberries are at their best when they're in-season. Enjoy picking them locally! My favorite local place is The Uncle Scott’s Farm located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
