Strawberry Almond Tart

There is something comforting about having these strawberry almond tart. It's light and the sweet and sour taste from the strawberries goes really well with the toasted almond flakes. These are perfect if you want a little bit of indulgence without feeling guilty.


The tart is filled with cream cheese and strawberry coulis and the base is made of crushed graham crackers. Sprinkle some chia seeds in the crushed graham crackers for some added fiber. Enjoy it for dessert after dinner or make a bunch to share them at a party.
