Low-Carb Strawberry Mousse Tartlets

August 7, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Low-Carb Strawberry Mousse Tartlets feature a swoon-worthy rich and creamy strawberry cheesecake filling inside golden pastry crust.

One of the things that makes most girls’ hearts go pitter-patter is looking at beautiful pastries. Gazing at a window display of edible pastry art is like peering inside the windows at Tiffany and Co.

Well, maybe pastries aren’t quite as thrilling as diamonds, but they definitely make me swoon. The thing is, I don’t really enjoy indulging in them (no matter how pretty they are), knowing that I’ll soon be facing a sugar crash. But the solution is simple: low-carb pastries!

The most difficult part of developing this recipe was coming up with the perfect crust. I wanted it to be low-carb, but also easy to make, and with a fairly short ingredient list of items that a well-stocked pantry would already have on hand. The end result is as close to low-carb pastry crust perfection as I can get it.

The strawberry mousse was inspired by my recipe for Low-Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse on my other blog, Healthy Sweet Eats. It’s creamy, rich, and fruity, with the perfect touch of sweetness. It would make a lovely dessert on its own, but the tart shells really do take this dessert to the next level, especially in terms of presentation.

What dessert makes you swoon?

Prep time:  20 mins

Yield: 4 servings
 
Low-Carb Strawberry Mousse Tartlets feature a swoon-worthy rich and creamy strawberry cheesecake filling inside golden pastry crust.
Ingredients
Crust:
  • 1 cup (112 g) almond flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 large egg white (about 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon egg white)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 drops stevia glycerite
Strawberry Mousse:
  • 4 oz (115 g) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup mashed strawberries (about 2 large strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 drops stevia glycerite
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Other:
  • 2 fresh strawberries, halved
Instructions
  1. For the crust, preheat the oven to 350F. Combine the almond flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the egg white, vanilla, and stevia in a separate bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until it forms a sticky dough. Divide the dough in to 4 equal balls; press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of 4 individual tart molds (my molds are 3½ inches in diameter and 1 inch high). Use a fork to poke a few holes in the bottom of each. Bake the crusts until light golden brown, about 20 minutes; cool completely.
  2. For the strawberry mousse, beat together the cream cheese and mashed strawberries, and then beat in the erythritol, vanilla, and stevia. Beat in ¼ of the whipped cream, and then fold in the rest of the whipped cream ¼ at a time.
  3. To assemble, divide the mousse between the cooled pastry shells and place ½ a strawberry on top of each.
  4. Serve.
Notes
Storage Note: These will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, but the crust does get softer as they sit.

    Looks sooo good but I don’t have stevia glycerite. Is it really necessary? Thanks…

      Pat, Stevia glycerite adds sweetness to this recipe; you could try substituting with liquid stevia instead if you have that on hand or you could omit it if you don’t mind your sweets not as sweet. Hope this helps!

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
#ad If you're looking for an easy baking project t #ad If you're looking for an easy baking project that's perfect for spring, Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies are it! 🌿 These cakey vanilla-scented cookies are frosted with colorful buttercream and decorated with sprinkles. (Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
