Gluten-Free Italian Strawberry Tart

Hello there, my Shabby Creek Cottage friends! It’s Laura, from Inspiration for Moms here to bring you another sweet, delicious dessert! Today we are talking strawberries. Why? For two reasons, the first being I absolutely love strawberries. (What’s not to love?!) The second, we are in peak strawberry season! Starting now in April through June is when you are going to find the best strawberries! Trust me, you are going to want the perfect berries to make this dessert.

Italian Strawberry Tart

Fresh strawberries take center stage in my Italian Strawberry Tart. Just to warn you, this is the kind of dessert that your family and friends are going to be begging you to make again and again. Once they get that first bite, there’s no going back! πŸ˜‰

When you bite into this tart the texture resembles a coffee cake. It’s light and fluffy with sweet juicy pieces of strawberry mixed right in the middle. It’s perfezione! {That’s perfection in Italian.}

Speaking of strawberries, did you know they’re part of the rose family? Maybe that’s why they always smell as sweet as they taste! But besides their delicious taste, strawberries also contain high levels of nitrate. That means if you load up on strawberries before exercising you will have greater endurance and you will burn more calories! If you didn’t love strawberries before, I’m betting you do now! πŸ˜‰

This tart would be a perfect dessert for any Spring dinner. Or if you really want to have fun, try eating a slice for breakfast! Just make sure it’s right before you head to the gym. {wink. wink}

    A friend of mine is on a Paleo diet. Do you think it would be possible to use coconut oil instead of butter to make it more acceptable to her needs?

      It might change the taste a bit, but I’m sure you could try it!
