Description
A delicoius no-bake strawberry mascarpone tart recipe is a perfect summer dessert but delicious for any occasion any time of year. Made with fresh fruit, mascarpone cheese and almonds (optional) it’s bound to be the hit of any gathering. Wonderful for Mother’s Day, 4th of July, Canada Day or any occasion.
Ingredients
Crust:
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons almond butter, melted
Filling:
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- fresh mint leaves, for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Hand mix the graham cracker crumbs, almond flour, butter, and almond butter until combined and it’s all moistened. Press the crust into a 10-inch round tart pan. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: In another bowl stir the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined and it’s nice and creamy. Evenly spread over the graham crust, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- While the tart is in the fridge, slice the strawberries, cut off the stems and cut vertically into thin slices. Remove the tart from the fridge and place the strawberry slices onto the mascarpone filling in any fashion desired. Drizzle the tart with honey, then garnish with sliced almonds and if desired the mint.
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated, loosely covered, until ready to serve.
Notes
Before serving but after the tart has set is when you want to garnish with the sliced almonds and mint if using.
Can be made with other berries or a combination of berries but we loved how it tasted (and looked) with the strawberries.
You can also top with vanilla ice cream or whip cream with a hint of vanilla for an even more decadent treat. Although this no-bake tart is decadent just the way it is too.
This recipe was adapted from A Beautiful Plate’s Tart.
As you can see it’s an easy recipe to make, the part that takes the longest is slicing all of the strawberries. The one-hour “cooking” time is just passive time while you wait for this no-bake strawberry tart to set in the fridge. I don’t know about but I like a recipe that only takes 15 minutes of prep time and then I can walk away and just take it out of the fridge to serve an hour later or whenever I want. Although I don’t think I can last more than an hour knowing how delicious this no-bake strawberry mascarpone tart tastes!
I totally plan to make this yummy no-bake strawberry mascarpone cheese tart for Canada Day or maybe show my daughter and hubby how to make it for my birthday which is before Canada Day. I told you I can come up with any excuse to make this yummy no-bake dessert.
Wouldn’t you just love to have a slice of this strawberry dessert? Summer is coming, for many, it feels like summer already so you can enjoy this tart without having to turn the oven on even once to make it. No making the kitchen any hotter but you still get to enjoy a delicious dessert, what could be better? Not much in my opinion although my waistline might not agree with me.
You can PIN this delightful no-bake strawberry mascarpone tart for later but you won’t want to wait too long as you’re missing out on a tasty treat. It’s not too late to make it for whatever special occasion is coming up soon. Have you ever tried a mascarpone cheese tart with fresh fruits like this one or something similar? Who wants to make this tasty dessert?

I am going to make this especially on a hot summer day, because I don’t have to use the oven. I shared on Facebook and Pinterest. ? Thank you for sharing!!
kate g says
It looks delicious, but honestly I have no idea what mascarpone is. I’m guessing since it’s a dessert, it might be like a cream cheese of some kind? Anyway, I was a bit confused because I saw it was no-bake (which I always love in summer), and then looked at the directions and it said 1 hour bake time, but read the recipe and it was just in the fridge for an hour…whew, I thought I might actually have to turn on the oven.
LeAnn Harbert says
I’ll have to try this for next Sundays dinner.

This looks YUMMY, but where is a good place to find mascarpone cheese?
Powered by Mom says
Hi Sheryl,
It really depends on where you live. Some grocery stores carry it in the deli section, Italian specialty stores, specialty delis etc. I find it in abundance where I live but I can’t speak for other areas.

Very pretty but the prep has to be over the 15 minutes just to cut and then arrange those strawberries. More labor intensive than I want to deal with.

Hi Jayne, you don’t have to cut them the same way we did, that’s up to you so yes it can be less time.
