Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (blanched, finely ground)
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or erythritol (granulated)
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup small-curd, low-fat cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream (¼ cup for filling + ½ cup for whipping)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
  • Optional: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • Optional garnishes: unsweetened shredded coconut, sugar-free dark chocolate chips, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour. Add softened unsalted butter and monk fruit sweetener. Mix until crumbly, then add the egg and stir until dough holds together.
  2. Press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch tart pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  3. In a food processor, blend cream cheese and cottage cheese until smooth. Add ¼ cup heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and monk fruit sweetener. Blend until creamy and well combined. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip ½ cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cheese filling to keep it light and airy.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust. Arrange fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top in a festive pattern.
  6. Garnish with optional chopped nuts or mint leaves.
  7. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let flavors meld and filling set.
  8. Before serving, optionally dust with unsweetened shredded coconut or sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips.

Notes

Fold whipped cream slowly into the filling to avoid deflating the airiness. Pat berries dry if watery to prevent soggy crust. Check crust a few minutes before baking time ends to avoid burning. Chill dessert overnight for best flavor and texture. For dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and cottage cheese with coconut yogurt or cashew cream. Variations include vegan adaptation, seasonal fruit swaps, and nut-free versions.
