No Bake Strawberry Lemon Tart (Gluten Free / Dairy Free)

Mother’s Day was quite different for me last year. I was in Holland among the tulip fields. I plan on writing about our trip there, but this year I just wanted a quiet day at home with my babies. Some of my happiest moments are with my little girl in the kitchen. She has such passion at 9 years old. She is dreaming of being a chef, a teacher, an entrepreneur, an actress, and whatever else the days bring to her mind. Her short term dream is to be on the Kids Baking Championship. She says we have 1 year to prep. As much as she bakes, I like getting her to mix it up with some no bake options, like my favorite No Bake Strawberry Lemon Tart. 

I haven’t made this No Bake Strawberry Lemon Tart in a long time so I wanted to redo my crust. It was a great opportunity to teach my daughter about unconventional no bake crusts and baked crusts. I made a smaller portion of the crust and baked half of it and refrigerated the other portion of it. We had a family taste test. While both crusts were family approved, the no bake crust won the challenge. 

As much as I would love to buy lemon curd, it has dairy and that is something I can’t physically tolerate. I make my own and it’s the perfect topping for this almond and date no bake crust. It’s lower in sugar, and I replace butter with coconut oil. The flavors pair so wonderfully with fresh strawberries. You never know you are missing almost 3 times the sugar!

  10. Place back in the refrigerator.

  12. Cut off tops of strawberries and slice, not too thin.

  14. Place one single small unsliced berry in the middle of the tart.
