    This keto mascarpone strawberry tart has a crunchy pecan crust, a sweet and creamy mascarpone filling, and is topped with fresh strawberries.

    This keto mascarpone strawberry tart is one my husband’s favorite keto desserts since it has a crunchy pecan crust, a sweet and creamy mascarpone filling, and is topped with fresh strawberries. It's a delicious low-carb and keto summer dessert (or anytime of year for that matter) to make when when strawberries are ripe and in season.

    This simple tart only has 6 ingredients and is easy to make. To make the crust, you combine pecans, butter, Swerve Sweetener and salt, in a food processor and pulse until somewhat fine in consistency. Then, you press the mixture in a tart pan and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

    While the crust bakes, you can make filing, which is simply done by mixing the mascarpone with Swerve Sweetener. You'll also slice up a cup of strawberries into thin slices.

    After the crust is done baking and has cooled, then you add the filling and top with the strawberries. Pretty simple!

    It's hard to believe how low in carbs it is, too — just 1.8 net carbs per slice.

    What is Mascarpone?

    Mascarpone is a soft, creamy cheese that originated from the Lombardy region of Italy. It's most famous for its use in the Italian dessert tiramisu. Mascarpone is made from heavy cream and citric or tartaric acid and tastes similar to ricotta, cream cheese or clotted cream. It's low in carbs (a half cup is just 2 net carbs) and has a high fat content (between 60 and 75 percent).

    Ingredients

    This yummy low-carb and keto dessert is made with just 6 ingredients: raw pecans, unsalted butter, Swerve Sweetener, salt, mascarpone cheese, and organic strawberries.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ¼ cups halved pecans, raw
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    • 4 tablespoons Swerve Sweetener, granular
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ cups mascarpone, at room temperature
    • 6 tablespoons Swerve Sweetener, granular
    • 1 cup (7 ounces organic) organic strawberries

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare crust: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease tart pan with butter. In a food processor, pulse pecans to a fine grind. Add butter, 4 tablespoons Swerve, and salt and pulse until well combined. Press pecan mixture onto bottom and sides of tart pan until evenly spread. With a fork, generously prick the sides and bottom of crust. Bake until crust is lightly toasted, about 10 minutes or more. Remove from oven and let crust cool to room temperature
    • Prepare the tart filling: While crust is cooling, combine mascarpone and 6 tablespoons of Swerve Sweetener. Rinse and hull the strawberries and cut them into thin slices.
    • Finish the tart: Once crust is cool, spread mascarpone in an even layer over the crust. Arrange strawberries evenly over the top in a decorative pattern. Slice and serve immediately.

    Notes

    • By pricking the crust all over with a fork, you’ll prevent bubbles from forming while baking in oven.
    • Store the tart in a covered container in the fridge for up to five days.
