Healthy No-Bake Strawberry Tart Recipe
Looking for a delicious, lightened up dessert that still feels decadent? This Healthy No-Bake Strawberry Tart Recipe is sure to be a hit!
Let’s be honest- holidays and special occasions call for dessert. But just because it’s a celebration, it doesn’t mean you need to indulge in all the sugar and unhealthy ingredients that usually come with dessert! That’s why I love to create desserts that are not only totally delicious- but good for you as well!
This No Bake Strawberry Tart made the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day with the beautiful red strawberries. But it’s also a perfect summer treat. Try substituting different seasonal fruits for the strawberries. It’s also fabulous with peaches.
This stunner right here is full of tons of flavor. The one thing I love in my desserts are fresh berries. Is there really anything better than nature’s candy?? If I’m not careful, I could easily make my way through an entire carton of fresh strawberries all by myself!
Oh, and the best part about it…
It’s NO-BAKE!!
All you need is a food processor and tart pan for this recipe.
Seriously! It’s so quick and simple.
All you need is about 15 minutes to whip it up, an hour or two to let it set in the fridge, and it’s ready to go. Just be sure to have this recipe handy to share with your friends because everyone’s going to want it!
The other great thing about this dessert is that it is dairy and gluten-free. Making it the perfect treat to share with friends and loved ones with dietary restrictions.
Healthy No-Bake Strawberry Tart
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 3/4 cup oats, dry
- 10 medium dates, Medjool
Filling
- 1 1/2 cup (1/2″ cubes) Tofu, soft
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup, pure
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 1/2 cup strawberries
Instructions
- To make crust, add all crust ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is completely chopped and starts to come together to a sticky consistency. If you press on it, it should stick together. Place crust mixture in a deep dish pie plate or tart pan and press to the bottom and sides of the pan. Set in the fridge or freezer while you prepare the filling.
- For filling, add drained tofu, lemon juice, vanilla, and sweetener of choice to blender and blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down edges as needed. Adjust flavors to desired level of tartness/sweetness.
- Remove crust from the fridge or freezer and pour filling on top. Let set in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. You could even freeze it for up to 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Once you are ready to serve, neatly place sliced strawberries on top of the filling and serve immediately.

Super allergic to soy. Anything I can use to replace the tofu?
Could you please tell me how much tofu in grams? Thanks
Not a fan of tofu…do you have any suggestions as a replacement?
I’m so excited on how big of a hit this dessert was with my 4yr old son. He loved it!! We didn’t find the tofu unappealing at all. We add it in smoothies sometimes for added protein. The sweet and tart of this dessert come together nicely and its like a creamy pudding. I only had silken tofu on hand, but next time I will try a soft or firmer tofu for thickness. When it’s 110 degrees here in AZ this was a good choice for a weekend treat. I love that this dessert has nutritional value too. So glad I gave it a try! Thank you for a great recipe!
For those asking for subs for tofu, I made this and didn’t have tofu on hand, and used a combo of cream cheese and mascarpone and it turned out great. (I also didn’t have walnuts and used almond meal in the crust). So yeah, a few subs, but still yummy!
Any suggestions for a nut free alternative to the walnuts? Would sunflower seeds work?
When something is labeled healthy, would you please put nutritional information with post

Any substitutes for the dates?
Looks wonderful! Any ideas for a walnut sub as my daughter has a nut allergy.
Apples DO help clean teeth, STRAWBERRIES also have malic acid, a tooth-whitening agent. here at palm valley pediatric dentistry, we strongly believe that eating healthy effects child overall well-being.
Delicious but the filling and crust were very soft almost like melting ice cream. Any suggestions as to how to get it to be more firm?
The filling is a bit looser- freezing it for about 30 minutes before serving will help it to firm up.
